Things at work right now are crazy. Our office looks like a storage room and it feels like I haven't done much work in the past week and a half. Or maybe I just haven't been super busy so I don't actually have stuff to do...
Our moving day actually got pushed back a week so it's now next Monday. I barely started packing my things into boxes and emptying my desk. Our office is a freaking disasterous mess. We have stacks of boxes everywhere and it's become a maze to get to the other side of the room. I actually don't have that many boxes since I don't have a lot of past work like everyone else. So far, I've only packed most of one box and I think I'll only need one or two more. Maybe three if I'm underestimating...but I doubt it.
So, since the month is half over, I can go over most things I listed out in my last entry.
BSB Cruise booking went somewhat smoothly. Chris was supposed to get it started but for some reason, she wasn't able to log in and she was getting angry. Once I got to work, I was able to get in and book our room. Our same room from last year wasn't available to choose from and there was only one room left on that same deck. I kept refreshing until it came back and then snatched it up. We are now officially going to next year's cruise with ALL FIVE Backstreet Boys!
Deaf coffee night at The Block was interesting. We talked to a couple more people than in the past. My friend talked to this nice old man who, in the end, seemed to try and set her up with his son (who was about 15 years older than her). And I got to talk to a seemingly nice deaf guy who only wanted my number. Sorry buddy. We found Gustavo again and chatted with him and a couple other people. It was definitely something we could write about in our papers.
Possible Disneyland trip with elementary school friends? Yep, told you it wouldn't happen. Those boys said they weren't able to financially since they started something new with their clothing line and wanted to focus on that. That's cool...I guess. And then they complain when we can't come out LAST MINUTE to their little shindigs. Mmhmm.
Mickey's Halloween Party was fun! I only got to enjoy about three hours since I had to attend in downtown and didn't get to leave until 6pm. I was furious when I found out I had to attend. I was planning to leave my office at 6pm, then I would've had a little bit more time. But downtown? That's a whole other thing. But it was fun. I can tell you our costume idea now! George and I were Wall-E and Eve!!! I gotta admit, I think I looked pretty darn cute in that white, bob-cut wig. The people who understood our costumes seemed to think it was pretty cute and clever. ^____^
And that's it so far. OH! I saw a new movie this month. The Perks of Being a Wallflower. So far, I've seen it four times. That's how much I love it. The first time, I cried. Several times. Everytime I finish watching it, I get this feeling...that's a little hard to describe. I feel like going out with friends and driving around or having house parties. Or just doing something different like lie on top of a car roof and watch the stars. I've never done that and I've always wanted to. I don't know. I get this feeling like I want to just go out all night and do crazy things.
Okay, that's it for now...bye! ♥

happy october!
And to celebrate, I bought a pumpkin spice frappuccino from Starbucks! (any excuse, really)
So...I think I've been under some stress lately. I can't say for sure, since I've never dealt with "real" stress, but I think the past couple weeks kind of got to me. I've never thought of myself to have a lot of stress. I think my life is pretty normal, if not down right peachy compared to others. I have it easy, really. I don't have much to worry about, so when I get a few things that come at me at once, it's considered a little stressful. Also, I never thought of myself as one for depression. It was actually suggested that it might be a possibility. I was genuinely surprised. Again, since I think of my life as easy-going, I never imagined I would have depression, mild or severe. At least, not at this point in my life. And that got me thinking...even if it were true, I think I would be the type to deny it and not do anything about it.
Aaaand I just lost where I was going with this. Basically, it's not a big deal. I'm usually a chipper person who gets the occasional bad day.
Also, I feel like I messed up with something. I can't be certain, but I feel most of it was my fault. But that's also a bit of a downer, so I won't get into it.
Instead, I'll list out my plans for the month!
Backstreet Boys Cruise booking goes on sale in 2 days!!! I emailed the company organizing it asking if we could request a certain room and I was told that this year, we'd be able to select our room at booking. I emailed again asking if this one particular room would be available and she said it should be. FINGERS CROSSED!!! Me and my friend want the same room as last time. It was just in such a good location.
Deaf Coffee Night at the Block in Orange in two Fridays. Me and my friend haven't gone since June and another classmate says he wants to join so hopefully it'll be fun and I can carry a decent conversation.
Possible Disneyland trip with my elementary school friends. This one is up in the air since those people are so last minute. I actually think it won't happen (even though we kind of planned it) and will be surprised if it does.
Mickey's Halloween Party at Disneyland on the 15th! For this, I am praying that I don't have to work late. At the moment I am waiting for a client's reply if they're coming to LA that week. If they don't, GREAT! Then I only have to help my other coworker and it's easier/less stress to leave on time. If they do...then I will cry.
Moving day for Toyoshima. This isn't exactly a fun event, but it's something. We're moving to a temporary building for about 10 months while they tear down the current one and build a shiny new one. It's about 5 minutes away and while we're sharing the floor with a couple other companies, we'll be the only ones in the office space. The only good thing I guess is that we're literally right next door to our inspection company so that should make it easier when things come up.
And Halloween. It's on a freaking Wednesday this year. But I have a costume in mind! It's going to be a pair costume with my boyfriend (and I'm not saying what it is until we finish it...or we decide not to do it anymore). If we finish it in time, we're going to wear it to the Disneyland thing. If not, then whatever Halloween event after and then maybe PMX. I think it'll be cute.
For now, those are the only plans I know of. Not much actually...oh well, hopefully more stuff comes up.

unpleasant mornings...
That's not exactly something you want to start your day with.
I don't even know where to begin. I've talked about this countless times and have always said the same type of thing, over and over. It's basically work. Since we have a new boss coming in about a month, our current boss wants to put in motion a lot of things before he leaves (although he won't be leaving for another year, at least). One of those things is giving me more responsibility. Ya~~~~y -_____________- I hate that word. I also hate being told what to do. If I'm told to do something, I automatically want to to the opposite. I just seem to have a problem with authority. I think part of it comes from my dad...
Anyways, more responsibility includes going to MAGIC in February. I've never been to MAGIC in February because I always have school. Now he really wants me to go (for experience or whatever) but I don't plan on missing school. I have no idea what my classes will be like next semester, but I already have trouble with school (mostly my willpower and motivation to stay) so I don't want to mess with that. Also, I'm taking sign language so it's kind of hard if you miss a day, let alone a week.
This is not the kind of thing I want to deal with in the morning. This isn't the kind of thing I want to deal with at all! I'll deal with it when the time comes. Don't bring it up 5 months before, let it linger and then bring it up every so often. It just makes me hate it more and more.
And my mom bringing it up again this morning? Not helping. I already feel so unsure in my life, I don't need to be reminded first thing when I get to work. I wanted to cry. I can't cry at work. If I don't let it out, it kinda stays there all day until I completely forget about it or get to finally cry.
Okay, that's it...bye.

unnecessary shopping
...for makeup!
So there's something out there right now that I kind of want. Key word: want. Not need or "have to have". Just want. If something has the words "disney" or "disney collaboration" or "limited edition", it's going to get my attention. If something has all three? Well, you can bet that I'm going to be looking into it! And that's exactly what this following piece of pretty has...

And that's exactly what this following piece of pretty has...
Disney Cinderella Collection by Sephora
Storylook Eyeshadow Palette
Um, yes please! Cinderella wasn't even my favorite movie or princess and I really want this! Mostly because it is Disney AND limited edition. It's also $55. But I have a gift card for $50. See where I'm going with this? I think a gift card is meant for things you don't need or would particularly buy yourself because it's too expensive. It's free money for goodness sake! Also, there's 20 eyeshadows so it'd be about $2.75 each (granted the eyeshadows amount is really small).
The only thing holding me back is...do I really want it? I mean, yeah, it's pretty and again, limited edition. But maybe I can buy something I'd actually use more. I bought an Alice in Wonderland palette that Urban Decay did a couple years ago and lately, I rarely use it. I've been leaning towards more neutral colors, which kind of makes me sad. I like having fun with colors but I also don't have time in the morning to work on a nice eye look. Anyways, maybe I don't have to buy it.
This collection also came out with a 4 piece lipstick set ($25), an eyeshadow quad ($30), a 6 piece mini nailpolish set ($24.50), a really pretty compact mirror ($20), and a perfume($19-$58). And here's my "why I don't need them" list...
I can do without the lipsticks since I don't wear them enough.
Though the colors are nice, I didn't really care enough for all of them to pay that much.
The nail polishes are mostly glitters and I think I have enough nail polish at the moment.
I can't bring myself to pay that much for a mirror I will hardly use.
I don't want to buy the perfume without actually smelling it first.
So I guess the only thing I might get use out of this collection would be the perfume IF I like it.
Hm, I guess writing things out like this helps me decide if I should get something or not. So...for now, I'll hold back and pass. I do have enough eyeshadows that I don't use often enough. I should get through some of those first.
Okay, that's it for now...bye! ♥

Hawaii~
My Hawaiian weekend was great! I went to Hawai'i for the first time Sept 7th-10th.
It was super short and we didn't actually do much, but it was relaxing and very nice. We stayed in Ko Olina with our boss and his wife in their timeshare at the Marriott Beach Club Resort. It is so nice! There is a lagoon RIGHT there for the hotel guests and it's within walking distance of the Disney Aulani Resort! Which me and my mom went to the first morning. We slipped past the keycard gate to the pool area and walked around. Then we wandered a bit in the lobby and gift shop and it's official, I am staying there one day.
Before we went, I kept saying I didn't want to just lay out on the beach and do nothing. I wanted to go out. But as soon as we got there, everything was so nice and chill that I didn't want to do anything. Our boss likes to go snorkeling and looking at the fishies and he had a couple extra masks and a snorkel (heh, that's a funny word) so I borrowed them. Since I can't swim, I borrowed an inner tube from his wife (who can't swim either) and we went out to the lagoon. As soon as I got used to sticking my face in the water and being able to breathe at the same time, it was amazing. It was like a whole new world!!! And as cheesy as that sounds, I decided right then and there that I will learn how to swim and go snorkeling for real in the future. It was incredible! I saw angel fish and a cute little puffer fish!
We got some shaved ice afterwards and while we were just sitting on the chairs, it POURED out of nowhere! Big, huge raindrops. Not that wimpy sprinkle we get in LA when it "rains". Everyone ran indoors from the beach and pool area. It wasn't cold either, so after I realized I was already wet and wearing a bathing suit, I gave my towel to my mom and just walked in the rain. It was so nice.
In the evening I watched the most beautiful sunset I've ever seen. I actually saw the sun sink into the ocean. The horizon is so clear there. No marine layer, no fog, and no Catalina Island to get in the way. The sky and ocean have a distinct separation and the sun just gets smaller and smaller. For dinner we ate at a restaurant in the hotel.
The next day was beach again. This time we tried the right side of the lagoon to look for sea turtles. But my boss said there weren't as many fish so we went back to the left side. More fishies, but no sea turtles. I really wanted to see one. We were going out later so I went back to the room to start getting ready.
We went to Waikiki beach (just to look) and walked around there for a little bit. Then we went to the Ala Moana shopping center. Oh my gosh, there were SO many expensive stores! I've never seen all those stores in one place before. It was a rich tourist's dream! Chanel, Gucci, Prada, Hermes, Dior...I could go on. But at the same time, it was all the same as LA. I saw they had Gilly Hicks and after hearing about it through a friend, I wanted to stop in. There's only one in the LA area and that's at the Americana, which is a bit far and I can't even remember the last time I went (if ever...). Gilly Hicks isn't something spectacular. It's like the intimates store of Hollister. Even though I don't shop at Hollister/Abercrombie, I can definitely shop at Gilly Hicks. So many cute undies and bras, sweaters and PJs. I found a cute cardigan and pajama set so my mom got those for me.
Dinner was at a Japanese katsu restaurant. It was pretty good. After getting lost one more time, because seriously, the whole day as long as we were in the car, we did not get to our destination right away. Our boss and his wife are not the best navigators or communicators.
The third and final day, we went to a different lagoon (four lagoons over) called Paradise Cove...so I guess that makes it a cove? I actually don't know the difference or what they techinically are. But this one was a lot smaller and public. The water was a lot shallower and apparently there were a lot more fish. I didn't feel like getting my face and hair wet that day since we were going home later. Me and my mom just relaxed on the beach while the other two went snorkeling. Then, a sea turtle made its way onto the beach!!! They made an announcement saying we can look and take pictures but to stay 2 meters away, and they set up little orange cones. I finally saw my sea turtle! I didn't see one swimming or swim with one (which I think I heard there were some swimming in the water), but I saw a live, wild sea turtle! My goal was met and I was happy. ^__________^
We went back to our hotel after a couple hours, but not before stopping at an ABC Market to do some last minute gift shopping. Back at the hotel, we went to a jacuzzi first and warmed up a little bit before laying out in the shade. Everyone else fell asleep but I kept myself awake with my phone. We went to the beach one last time just for a little bit before me and my mom had to start packing.
The hotel does welcome parties every Monday since most people move in/out during the weekend and stay the week. We were able to watch a little bit of it before having to leave to the airport. Our boss was nice enough to drive us to the airport. There we had some Starbucks and waited to board the plane. It was an 8pm flight with an arrival time of around 5:30am Tuesday. I tried to sleep, I really did. But I could just not get comfortable. I think I got maybe a total of 2 hours of bad sleep. I wouldn't be surprised if it was actually more and just didn't feel like it. Worst part was, when we got home, we had to get ready for work already. I was DEAD. I was sooo sleepy and I had class later! There was no way I was going to survive. All through work I felt pretty useless. I got some stuff done but I can't be certain on the quality of it. Before school, I got a Frappe from McDonald's and surprisingly, I was not falling asleep at all in class!
But that's my brief recap of my Hawaiian weekend. I am definitely going back one day and staying at Aulani. Okay, that was long...bye! ♥

birthday recap
So my birthday has finally come and gone. I turned 23 on the 23rd. And ever since I realized I would have a day where my age and birth date would be the same, I decided to make that year special. Especially when I compared it to my friends whose age/birth dates had already passed. I figured I'd be old enough to do what I wanted.
My actual birthday wasn't super eventful, but it wasn't a letdown like last year. So that was the first thing I needed to accomplish. I was still in Las Vegas, but I wasn't working all day. Our office was at a lounge and when it turned midnight, all the girls came up from behind singing happy birthday with a little cupcake and candle in hand. I loved it! It was really cute and we took a bunch of pictures. In the morning, I got to finally sleep in after days of sleeping late and waking up early. I slept in so much that I only had time to get ready and get to the airport. My mom wanted to eat lunch, but oops. My flight back home and quick and Kelly picked me up from the airport. I only had a short time before I had to leave again for my birthday dinner at BJ's. Kelly, Cookie, Alberto and Benji came! (George had work, Amanda fell asleep and she was Jun's ride). It was a nice, chill dinner with lots of laughing. I was so tired though.
The next day, I met up with Kelly and Amanda at Tea Station just to hang out. After I texted Rafael, they invited us over to chill and play beer pong. They said they would celebrate my birthday but I was fine with just hanging out and not getting blamed for not drinking during beer pong. But everyone did tell me happy birthday and that made me happy. Me and Kelly stayed until about 4am. Yeah...we weren't going to be at Disneyland very early.
I tried waking up early on Saturday, I really did. But I was just too tired that I kept falling back asleep. I finally forced myself to get up and get ready. Me and George finally got to the Disneyland Hotel around 2pm so it was perfect for check-in time since our room was ready! We met up with everyone for lunch at Tangaroa Terrace. Then we went to DCA and rode Mickey's Fun Wheel! It wasn't as scary as I remembered (probably because we didn't even make a full round), but it was fun screaming with everyone and laughing at Jun's frightened face. It was a really fun day. And I think I looked pretty freaking adorable! hahaha! I had a dinner date with Georgie at the Carthay Circle Restaurant. It was definitely different. Everything on the menu was unique and it was hard to decide what I could eat. Then we danced and partied at Mad T Party until closing.
We were supposed to do Early Entry the next morning but I knew for sure I wouldn't be able to wake up. I wasn't sure about everyone else. I was kind of hoping they wouldn't wake up...haha! And they didn't! Since George slept a lot the previous day, he was able to wake up way before everyone else and he told me everyone was still asleep. I breathed a sigh of relief and went back to sleep for another hour. Then it was breakfast time so of course, I got room service!!! I decided a long time ago I would get the Mickey shaped waffle. It was yummy! We got a late start (not surprising) and barely checked-out in time. We went back to DCA first before going into Disneyland. We actually spent the whole day on the left side of the park, mainly in Critter Country, Frontierland and Adventureland. I don't think we stepped foot past Fantasyland and only went to Tomorrowland for Star Tours and to take the Monorail back at the end of the night.
I was so tired by the end of the night. I was trying not to nod off at the wheel! I got home and simply knocked the eff out. But! It was SUCH a fun birthday weekend. People kept asking me what I wanted to do and I got to call all the shots. It was nice ^__^ The only thing I realized today was that I never got a cake with candles to blow out. Yeah, I got a candle here and there on a dessert, but being surprised, blowing out candles and cutting cake is another one of those things that completes a birthday to me. Georgie said we could get an ice cream cake from Cold Stone.
Okay, that's it for now...bye! ♥
My actual birthday wasn't super eventful, but it wasn't a letdown like last year. So that was the first thing I needed to accomplish. I was still in Las Vegas, but I wasn't working all day. Our office was at a lounge and when it turned midnight, all the girls came up from behind singing happy birthday with a little cupcake and candle in hand. I loved it! It was really cute and we took a bunch of pictures. In the morning, I got to finally sleep in after days of sleeping late and waking up early. I slept in so much that I only had time to get ready and get to the airport. My mom wanted to eat lunch, but oops. My flight back home and quick and Kelly picked me up from the airport. I only had a short time before I had to leave again for my birthday dinner at BJ's. Kelly, Cookie, Alberto and Benji came! (George had work, Amanda fell asleep and she was Jun's ride). It was a nice, chill dinner with lots of laughing. I was so tired though.
The next day, I met up with Kelly and Amanda at Tea Station just to hang out. After I texted Rafael, they invited us over to chill and play beer pong. They said they would celebrate my birthday but I was fine with just hanging out and not getting blamed for not drinking during beer pong. But everyone did tell me happy birthday and that made me happy. Me and Kelly stayed until about 4am. Yeah...we weren't going to be at Disneyland very early.
I tried waking up early on Saturday, I really did. But I was just too tired that I kept falling back asleep. I finally forced myself to get up and get ready. Me and George finally got to the Disneyland Hotel around 2pm so it was perfect for check-in time since our room was ready! We met up with everyone for lunch at Tangaroa Terrace. Then we went to DCA and rode Mickey's Fun Wheel! It wasn't as scary as I remembered (probably because we didn't even make a full round), but it was fun screaming with everyone and laughing at Jun's frightened face. It was a really fun day. And I think I looked pretty freaking adorable! hahaha! I had a dinner date with Georgie at the Carthay Circle Restaurant. It was definitely different. Everything on the menu was unique and it was hard to decide what I could eat. Then we danced and partied at Mad T Party until closing.
We were supposed to do Early Entry the next morning but I knew for sure I wouldn't be able to wake up. I wasn't sure about everyone else. I was kind of hoping they wouldn't wake up...haha! And they didn't! Since George slept a lot the previous day, he was able to wake up way before everyone else and he told me everyone was still asleep. I breathed a sigh of relief and went back to sleep for another hour. Then it was breakfast time so of course, I got room service!!! I decided a long time ago I would get the Mickey shaped waffle.

birthday plans
So I got the OK from my boss to come home early from Las Vegas after the MAGIC show!
He doesn't know my real reason (and he won't either, because I have another reason made up) and since he never asked, I'm not going to say anything. I just bought my plane ticket and even though it was a little pricey for what it is, my mom was nice enough to pay for it. SO. I will be home from Vegas and free to do what I want on my birthday! I will have the evening to do whatever I want.
But so far, all I have in mind is dinner somewhere with my friends. =P I want to do something, but I can't think of anything. I have my Disneyland weekend right after, but you know me and my deal with doing things on my actual birthday. So I'm trying to think of something I can do with my friends.
Find a place to "release" my floating lanterns? (and "release" because I thought of a safer way to have fun with them...light fishing line!)
Go dancing somewhere?
Mess around at a park or beach?
Late-night dessert somewhere?
No idea. Hopefully I can decide on something soon! Okay...bye! ♥
