It's Gone

I sure know how to mess things up to the extreme. I made a fun night go bad. Why am I so stupid? I don't want any conflicts... but no matter what I do or say, something always comes up. I have pretty much ruined any chances for a future I envisioned or for any of my life goals. I'm not smart. I have always known this...

I need to correct my self but I want to hide for a bit.

Where's the Doctor when you need him... oh wait... he doesn't exist.

Another Monday in March

On Thursday I hung out with Cliff and we had lunch and went to different stores looking to My Little Pony merchandise.  We had lunch at Porto's and it was really good. I had a turkey croissant with a red velvet cupcake. Afterwards we went to Mcdonals just so I could but the My Little Pony toys and I got the whole set! Yay.

I've been trying to figure things out with this Herbalife distributor business, going to some training and talking to my mentor. I took my aunt, and uncle to the nutrition club in Santa Monica this past Friday. They are both interested in loosing weight, so I'll be helping them out with the products they are buying from me. 

Aside from that? I went to Dave and Busters on Friday so I could hang out with a few friends. Sunshine was back in town for a few days and she was celebrating her bday as well. Dave and I went, had dinner and played games. 

I was planning to go to the exercise boot camp on Saturday but it was raining. So in the end I didn't go. If I don't have to go anywhere... then I rather just stay at home. Later that night Dave picked me up and we went out for beers for St. Patty's day. It was a little rainy but fun. I had two beers =) Weee.

Sunday was just Sunday. Not much happened. Had breakfast... watched tv... more tv... and watched the season finally of The Walking Dead... which was eeek good =D YAY. Then had dinner with Dave.

That's all.

It's Monday! Woo

Let see... well last week I was on the computer looking for a job. I started thinking about the month we are in, March and then thought... "I wonder when the Dodgers start playing?" I looked online and noticed not until April do they start playing. So that's when I decided to call up my old manager from when I worked there. I asked him if there were any jobs available and he said he would call me back next week so I could come in. A day later he ended up calling me back and asking if I could come in on Friday at 1pm. So I went in and filled out an application and all I'm waiting on is the background check to go trough and Tom, the manager will call me with what's going on. So that's that part.

Dave had a show on Thrusday... but it ended up being cancelled. Only the comedians and two audience member came. The saddest part about the show that it was a fundraiser for a dog to get knee surgery. I guess people don't really care about animals. We hung out at Flappers for a bit then he took me home after he got me a Chocolate Shake from in-n-out.

This Saturday I went to a exercise boot camp. It was an hour long but it took a lot out of me. I talked to people and I'm surprised I even did that. I usually don't talk to people. But something in me has changed... which I think is good. Hmm what else? I went out to Dinner with Dave on Saturday night. We went to Camacho's in City Walk. I had to drive back home to Dave's place since he had a little too much alcoholy. I stayed the night.

On Sunday I went to pick up my mom from the Airport and it took forever. I was annoyed with that because I wanted to see David... but because of the delay with the suitcases... I wasn't able to see him and that made me upset. I didn't want him to keep waiting for me... but I was hoping he would still want to wait for me. It didn't turned out like that.

Okay... that's all for today.

P.S. I'm still sore from Saturday... haha.

I Quit and More

I'm no longer working with Team Tag. I had fun working with the company but as time went on I started not to enjoy my time. I wasn't happy doing sales. I wasn't going to stick around and keep working when I didn't enjoy what I was doing. So the job search continues.

I haven't done much this week. I hung out with a few friends. Went to see a comedy show last night. It was also Purim... so yay. I went to the synagogue by myself since everyone else in my family was in El Salvador or on their way to El Salvador for my cousin's wedding that's this Saturday.

Also, my brother and Jasmine are back in Los Angeles. They stayed with us for about a week. But then Jasmine got called in to work earlier so they had to go down to San Diego and move into their apartment. Some other news, they are expecting a baby. So I'll be an aunt. I don't have much to say about that but that it surprises me.

What else? I don't know... I just wanted to do an update.

Too long

I haven't written anything in a while. I been to busy... and then if I'm home I just want to rest... or just not do anything. 

I will update a little bit. On the 12th of this month is was Dave's and my anniversary... of the day we met... four years ago =) Woo. We went to the Natural history museum and spent time looking a awesome history stuff. After that we went to see tv's at Best Buy. We also went out for a Chinese dinner. 

So I been working with team Tag in a sales job. It pretty hard job, for me, because I'm not used to the environment. This is my third week but I can see that I'm getting better at talking to people. I'm slowly getting this... but it's just talking a bit longer that most people. Sometimes I feel like like giving but I keep pushing. Things look tough now but it's just an obstacle I must get through. This week Wednesday is another team night with the co-workers... should be fun!

I also just went to Vegas this past weekend. It was really fun and awesome to be there especially since I haven't been there since I was 12 years old. There's a lot more I could write about... but that's all I will write... I'm tired!

-Glad

Busy busy busy...

I haven't had a chance to write anything for over a week. I've been working this past week and I just haven't been home. If I am home, then I'm tired and don't want to do anything. I got a sales job where I go around telling people about our company Quill and their office supplies. It's a fun job. I get to walk around all day and I set where I want to go. This past week I made two small sales, both under 100 dollars. The first one Stephanie helped me a little bit but on the second one I made all on my own. It's just how you speak to people and how you CPR, Create Personal Relationship. Haha. O_O I have lots more I want to type about... but right now I don't have time...

Monday Feb. 6th

I was scheduled to go volunteer on Monday at the Kabbalah Centre. I had to sign people in, give them their name badges and hand them their class handout. I did that for a little bit. Afterwards I gathered in to a group and we did a quick meditation for what we were doing. Nechama asked me how long I could stay. I told her I could stay for a little bit longer, but I was planning to go to the Kabbalah 3 party at the Avalan Hotel near the Kabbalah Centre. She ended up saying I could go now and it would be fine if I did. It was 7:30pm and the perfect time to leave since the party started at 7:30pm. Emmy was already at the party waiting for me to come, so I said okay and left. I arrived at the hotel and meet up with people in my class. I talked to a lot of people but most of my time I talked to Emmy. She's an awesome person to talk to. I stayed and hung out until about 9;45pm then I went home to watch the Syfy shows.

That's it for now.

Sat. and Sun. and no Mon.

I took pictures of my art work a few days ago but they are not uploaded on my computer yet. I will one of these days... haha. 

On Saturday Ariel and Joe invited David and me to a conference of some sort at Saban Theater in Beverly Hills. It looked like just a bunch of talks, but it ended up being more than that. There were some musical performances during the conference. Some of the stuff at the event was decent... but a lot of it was boring and not interesting. Some speakers talked to much and I just wanted them to get off stage. The only part of the event I was curious about, was the part where Jim Carrey would show up. Towards the end of the second act of the event, I noticed a man walking to his seat on the opposite front side of the Theater. I took a closer look and saw that it was Jim Carrey. Haha. Shortly after that, act two ended and he started walking towards the stage to go back into the back of the stage. I was content with just seeing him, so I told David that it's okay if we left. The event was running past the time they had scheduled... and by the time the whole thing finished... it would be past 1am. It turns out, it finished at 3am. I'm glad we got out of there and not stayed until the end. Dave dropped me home and went to get food because he wasn't feeling so well. I went to sleep shortly after I came home.

On Sunday, Dave came to pick me up so we could go to Flappers and hang out with Joe and Ariel at the Superbowl party. The only reason I went was because Joe and Ariel would be there. Good thing they went because otherwise I would have been at home and waiting for Dave to come over after the game. I was able to spend some time with David while he wasn't paying attention to the game. Haha. During part of the game, I went over and got some frozen yogurt with Ariel. Ariel didn't get anything but she still came with me. I don't remember what time the game ended but when it did I was like "YAY." Afterwards we went to Dave's place to relax... until later that night when we had to get food because we forgot to eat. We wanted to go to a taco truck in eagle rock but when we got there, it wasn't there. So instead we went to another taco truck a few minutes away. I wanted to get tacos de carne asada but I didn't want to eat meat so late at night. Dave did get the tacos with carne asada. I got the bean and cheese burrito which was totally yummy and not dripping all over the place... so it was PERFECT. I spent the night at Dave's place all warm and happy. 

There's more for Monday... but I'm done writing for now. I'll continue later.

Art Work

Tomorrow I will take pics of the oil paintings, acrylics or any other art work I have done. I think it's time I posted some of my work up on my blog. I still don't know where I'm going with my blog. But I will mix in my art because it is what I do in life. I have a few pieces I can put up.  I will do it gradually... or maybe post one up everyday until all the art work I have worked on is up. Maybe... not sure if I want to do that... but I will figure it out.

Until then...

Driving and Hanging out

I've been hanging out with my best friend Clifford a lot recently. He's the only friend who lives closest to me. A 5 minute drive to get to him. Yesterday I sent him a text asking him what he was up to. He replied, "being a lazy butt." So I just told him if he wanted to come over and hang out, because I was bored too. He came over about 30 mins later. I bet he was still in him sleeping clothes... haha. When Cliff arrived he called me and he came in. He brought over his art stuff he bought the other day. He was about to show me what he had worked on when he open his sketch pad and there was only a blank page. After a second passed I knew what had happened. He had the wrong sketch pad. Typing about it now... makes me laugh. Hehe.

After a little bit we decided to go check out a place in Sherman Oaks where they have shaved ice, cupcakes, frozen yogurt and boba. This place is called Frootsii and near two places I have worked at in the past. I enjoyed a vanilla shaved ice and red velvet cupcake. Cliff got a thai tea boba and a chocolate brownie cupcake. We relaxed for 20-30 mins enjoying our desserts. Afterwards we left and Cliff just started to drive towards Encino. We just kept driving and eventually turned right on some street and just kept driving. We just wanted to see where we would end up without knowing exactly where we were. After a little bit we ended up in Porter Ranch. We went to a plaza near the area where we decided to make a stop to use the restroom. It turned out to be a plaza I have been at before because it was the one near where David works at. We walked to different stores to see what was there but then afterwards I suggested we should go eat at Applebee's since I had a giftcard to go eat there. We went looking for Applebee's and found it. I remembered fairly where it was because I had looked it up in a map a few days previous. We got the two for $20 dollar deal. Our appetizer choice were mozzarella sticks. I got some pasta entree thing. I don't remember the exact name. Cliff got a steak thing with mashed potatoes. After we finished eating we continued driving around. We took the side streets all the way back to North Hollywood which was really fun. We tried to find the street Tujunga to go down to Noho, but we couldn't. We kept driving until I recognized the area. We ended up by the Burbank airport. We went to my place to drop of my leftovers, and decided to drive down Tujunga and see where it ends. As soon a we started to leave my place, Dave calls me. Yay! Haha. I talked to him for a little bit while Cliff drove down Tujunga. We ended up at some stone art gallery. Which was closed off with a gate. It was actually a really creepy place... especially at night. After a few minutes we just drove back to my place. Cliff came in for a little bit and played with Lobo. He also played with Koga, Cinnamon and Serenity. It was almost 11pm and finally Cliff said it was time for him to go home. I stayed up and watched a little bit of tv. 

There's a few other things I forgot to mention, why? me lazy.

Frozen Dream

I forgot to tell David about my dream on Monday morning. It was a weird dream. I was trying to start a business selling frozen yogurt. The location was in Beverly Hills area. It was early in the morning and I already had a friend working and getting things started. It was around 6am and it was still dark out. I'm getting all the yogurt ready when I see people walking outside the store. All the employees and myself get curious and follow them. We walk down to another store and go in. There is a room and lots of people are sitting down waiting for something to start. We sit down too, not knowing what is going on. Shortly after  we are there I realized they were vampires. The only reason they haven't realized that my employees and I are living is because we have been preparing the cold yogurt for the day. I immediately signals the other that we should get out. But by this time it was too late. We get taken away from the room. That's all I remember from the dream. Now I want some frozen yogurt!

Yeah... that's it for this post.

3 Day Update

Last time I wrote on my blog was Thursday. I can't remember what else I did that day. I guess it wasn't that important!

On Friday I had to take my Dad to the DMV to re-register his car to his name. I had to wake up at 7am. All I wanted was to sleep in a little bit. I came back home and I went on with my typical morning. Go online, check email, check my RSS reader, facebook and other miscellaneous things. I totally forgot what time it was, I felt I had been awake forever, but Dave messages me. In my head I thought he would already be at work, but then I look at the time and notice it's only 9:37am. I was also thinking he should be leaving for work, but I had forgotten he said he was going to get a haircut. Yay, for less hair, at least on him. I'm trying to grow my hair. It will take a while for that. From Dave's calculations, he said it would take 3 years. We'll see how long my hair will be at the end of this year.

So today I also decided to hang out with Clifford. I went over to his place at 1pm. I texted him when I got there. I waited a minute or two but then decided I should call him. He came out and opened his gate and I went inside his house. We were watching some funny show at his place when he got a text telling him, that I was here. I sent this message 30 minutes earlier and he just getting it now? If I didn't call his phone when I did, I would have bee waiting for a little bit. Good thing I decided I should just called him instead of waiting for him to get a text. After we finished watching his show, we put on a movie. We watched "The Boy in Stripped Pajamas." I really like this movie, it has a good story, amazing shots and the relationship between the boy characters is cute. What I really like about this movie, is the director didn't even create storyboards for the film. He filmed everything in order to get it just right. That's is an amazing feet. To be able to do that with no visual on paper is incredible. After the movie Cliff was hungry. Or at least he wanted to get something. So we left and went to Starbucks. I had my ipod with me and I forced him to listen to My Little Pony music. Haha. It was the Gorillas music track mixed with pony music. It's very addicting... so I wanted to share it with him. His expression to the music was priceless. I kept laughing at his reactions. That went for 20 minutes. Not all at once. When we got to Starbucks, I saw there was a frozen yogurt place right next to it. So I decided I would get some of that instead. I got the flavor, Cherry Amaretto. It was so delicious. I wish I had more! After Cliff got his Starbucks, he still wanted food. So we went to In-n-Out. He got a burger and I just enjoyed my frozen healthy yogurt. Haha. After he finished eating his burger we went and looked around the Michael's that was in the plaza. We hung out for a bit looking at stuff. Cliff wondered what other places we could go look at, so I suggested the Aaron Brothers in Burbank. So we decide to go there only after he went home and got his sweater. It was starting to get cold. I waited for him to get his stuff. While I waited I ran to my car and got my jacket in case it got colder. 

We go to Aaron Brothers in Burbank and spend some time looking at more art things. Cliff ended up getting a few things, drawing pads, and a few thousand pencils! He did get a few different kinds of pencils... but not thousands. Haha. We were starting to get hungry so after Cliff finished his little art shopping we went to get food. At this time I was starting to count just how many hours Clifford and I have been hanging out. At this point it was 5-6 hours. But since we needed food, we both got Japanese food. After we finished eating, I felt my phone vibrating. I checked my bag, picked up my celly and saw that it was David calling me. By the time I got my phone it was already a missed call. So I called him back. He wanted to know where I was and if I wanted him to come get me. Well I was hanging with Cliff so I couldn't just leave. So I told him that and he just said to call him later when I get home. After that, we decided to keep looking at other stores. So went to Best Buy. We looked around the stores to see if there was anything interesting. We left and started to leave the parking lot, but then Cliff decided he wanted to go to another store, Sports Authority. He wanted to look at bicycles. I saw some awesome bicycling gloves which I want to buy in the future, when I have money. So afterward we finally left and took the 5 N to go up to his place. We noticed the that one of the exits he usually gets off at was closed due to construction, so we had to get of the next exit. We ended up getting lost because we didn't know the area. We went around in circles but eventually found our way back to Panorama City. I relaxed for a bit at Cliffs place. I felt after 10pm. When I got home I called Dave and left him a message telling him I was home. He then later came over and picked me up. I left and I stayed over at his place.

Ahh... so many details. I'm tired or typing. But there is still more to tell! So... I will keep going. 

Yesterday Saturday, I got up at 7am to watch the new episode of My Little Pony. I watched most of it. I kept dozing off for some minutes. But did watch the ending. Haha. I will have to re-watch the episode to see what I missed. Afterwards, I ended up just falling asleep in Dave's couch. I was so comfy, I didn't want to move from the warm spot. I woke up later on and it was now 9am. I went back to the bedroom and Dave was already awake. My head was hurting a little bit, so I ended up falling asleep again for another hour and a half. We both woke up and finally got ready and left to go to the Chinatown New Year. We drove towards the festival as fast as we could. We were both hungry and hadn't eaten a thing! We parked in downtown and walked to Chinatown. There was so much traffic in downtown because of road closures. We got a good parking lot where the cost was only $5 dollars. Cheapest parking price ever! haha We walked a good distance and it was nice to do that. We go have some fun and at the same time we walked and got some exercise. There were so many people there. We got stuck in the crowd, but when we could we went around to avoid them. We wanted to eat, and were looking for the food trucks but we ended up on the opposite side of the street. So we had to cross while the parade was at a stop. We managed to cross while, The Batman Car, The Mystery Machine were sitting around and people were taking pictures of them. We finally got to the food trucks and got food. Dave got some crepes and I got an sandwich. The name of the sandwich was The Holy Aioli. It was so yummy. The flavors were not overpowering. I could taste all the yummy goodness. I couldn't finish the sandwich to I'm glad I had a bag to take the leftover with me. There was a truck with shaved ice... so we both decided to get one. I haven't had one in a while. Last time I did it was in 2009. It was so good. Thinking about it right now, makes me want more. I need to find a place or something. But anyways, after that we spent some time looking around at stores. We started heading back to the car at around 4ish. I had tickets to go see a show at Flappers. I invited a few people, but only Marcelo, Carlos and his girlfriend Carol came. I was glad I was able to have some people come and enjoy a comedy show. So we went to the show and the show was pretty good. But the service turned out horrible. The server who was supposed to be in that night called of, so Flappers had someone else who had no idea what he was doing working the night. I needed food because the server forgot to bring me my food. So we ended up going to Johnny Rockets and I got Chili Cheese Fries. Carlos and his gf left because she needed to get up early to go to work. Marcelo stayed and had some food with me. We ate and talked for a bit. Afterwards we both went our ways. Marcelo was on his way to a party. Dave and I went to his place to relax. We watched an old SNL show. Afterwards we went to sleep.

We woke up early today. I wanted to be home around 9:15am. I had a class to get to. I went to the class... and then came back home. I ate my leftovers and afterwards I took a short nap. Not much today... but I been at home and just letting Dave do his things. Gonna go over to his place later...

That's it for today...

So Far This Week...

On Monday I had to wake up early to go to the clinic to get my TB test done. Also making sure my background check went though for the tutoring job I applied for. I stayed over at Dave's place the night before. I just had to get up and leave by 8am and get home in 10-20 minutes to change and go do my errands. Once I completed my tasks, I went home. I started checking my email and saw that there was an email from the Sanrio store I had applied for work about two weeks ago. The manager wanted me to come in for an interview that same day. Glad I had free time that day to be able to go to it. I went to the interview and the Manager gave me all the details of the job. He said he would let me know by the end of next week, if anything. After the interview I went of to my Kabbalah class. 

It's funny and hard trying to remember the things I have done this week. I can't even remember what I did on Tuesday. Oh well, onto yesterday Wednesday. I went back to the clinic and got my TB test, it came back negative. I fax the results to the tutoring company and now I'm just waiting for the next step. I hung out with Clifford for a bit. We had lunch, talked, went to Best Buy, and went to Fry's electronics. Cliff wanted to buy a 24 inch monitor to his computer. We first went to Best Buy but they didn't have any 24 inch monitors. They only had 23, and 27 inch monitor. So I suggested we go to Fry's and so we did. As we went in we saw they were hiring so we both filled out job applications. We go look for his 24 inch monitor and there it was! It was at a good low price so he ended up buying it. I'm glad he did because the screen he has at home is so small... it's was annoying having to watch an online show on it. After that we went back to his place because we were driving around in his car. Afterwards I went home and got ready for Dave's show at Flappers. It was a good show that night. Joe and Ariel showed up to watch the show. The audience was kinda eh. They didn't want to laugh at the funnies! But it was still a fun night. I stayed over at Dave's place. 

We got up early today because Dave needed to get to work and finish things and I wanted to go to a job fair. And I did go to the job fair and talked to the person doing the interviews. I think it went well. There were a lot of people applying, so it will be a process. Now I just wait to see what happens next.

The day is young... there is still more to do. So I will leave it at that.
