Promises

Last night my friend broke a major promise. I told her to never see me or call me ever again.

I just realized I have to be super independent here.

I'm too lazy to go out and buy food.

KFC

Went out for a late supper at KFC. I asked the lady if they had "strawberry drink with vanilla ice cream" and she said, "Yeah, it's called float".

-______-

Service my car

Went to service my car. After one hour I got back the car. It was shaking like crazy. And I had no control over the steering wheel.

It was like driving a car with four flat tires and dragging a hanging iron rod from the back. And there was the noise.

I went back to the workshop and asked the mechanic guy, "What the hell did you do to my car?"

He test-drived the car and said, "This is not my fault."

I exploded. "Yes, it is. It wasn't like this when I sent it here. If it was, I wouldn't be sending it here COZ I CAN'T DRIVE IT!"

He finally decided to fix it.

What a jerk.

Boys are stupid

My boyfriend's not replying to me.

He uses fixed line.

This is the reason why I hate guys.

Because I really don't understand them.

Back

I'm back in my hometown. Went out around dusk and arrived an hour later. Thank God traffic was clear.

Started to come online and realized I couldn't keep my eyes open. I fell asleep in front of my laptop, so I hibernated it.

Didn't make it to my room though. Too tired. Passed out on the couch. Woke up around 3:30 AM. Went up to my room like a drunk raccoon.

I have never been so sleepy in my life.

Results

The assessment started at 3:30 PM. By that time I was in an angry and abusive mood. Just kidding about the abusive part.

So anyway, like 5 minutes before the assessment started, my computer died.

"Monitor going to sleep".

I was like, you wanna go to sleep NOW? Can't you wait until AFTER the assessment?

So I spent like two hours looking for another PC that functioned properly.

I tried three different PCs and they all didn't work. On the fourth PC, it finally worked, but it was super slow. Just my luck.

But thank God I was still able to do the assessment. There were 51 questions and you have to get minimum 44 correct answers to pass. 43 correct answers and you fail. I was like, whaaatttt?

Most of the questions were okay, but there were a few questions that I was completely clueless about. As if that wasn't bad enough, the trainer just had to stand behind me and laughed at my answers. I was like, go away. Go laugh at someone else. I know she doesn't like me, but there's no need to be annoying.

I finally had the courage to hit the "submit answers" button. I got 48. Ha.

In your face, trainer.

Assessment

Okay, it's 2:45 PM now. We were told that the assessment was to start at 2:30 PM.

I hate waiting. Especially for exams. Not that I like them, I just wanna get it over with.

Now I'm in a bad mood.

Stupid trainer.

I'm so sleepy right now. Maybe I shouldn't have stayed out late last night.

Oh please, just start the assessment already.

I think I feel my gastric coming.

Stupid trainer

When I stepped in class today, I headed straight to my seat.

My name tag on my desk was not there. It was shifted to the front.

Wtf?

"The trainer put it there," one of my friends explained. "She saw you texting during class yesterday so she put you in front today so she can keep an eye on you."

Yeah, whatever. She hates me anyway.

First date

So we went on our first date. Oh, there's an assessment tomorrow, so he gave the excuse that he wanted to study with me.

But in the end, it was three hours of enjoyment, and about 5 minutes of studying. And one hour to look for a place to eat. Ha.

Oh, I found out something. He told me that one of the trainers there was his mom. I know her pretty well, but when he told me she was his mom, it became different. It's like I dunno what to say to her anymore, knowing that she's his mom and we're working in the same place. Pretty stupid huh?

Anyway by the time I came back it was one in the morning. But I had fun though. And he's really, really nice. He picks me up and buys me stuff. And he helps kill time at night by taking me out. At least now I wouldn't be bored.

I'm starting to like it here.

Okay, I'm so gonna die during the assessment tomorrow.

Boyfriend

Some guy from work asked me to be his girlfriend. Which is stupid because I've only known him for two days.

I told him I wanted to be friends first and get to know him a bit more, but he kept stressing that I didn't like him.

I hate dudes like this, but okay, I'll give the weirdo a try.

So I was texting him all day during training, even though he was just two desks away from me.

I think the ugly trainer knew I was texting. Luckily, I was in the back seat.

So now I officially have a boyfriend. My fourth boyfriend, to be exact.

Can't take it

I finally exploded.

I called my girl and started making her feel guilty about dragging me here and leaving me. I dunno what my problem is.

I love her more than anything, but I am currently lonely.

I hate it here.

First day

Just got back from my first day. So tired I wanna die. But my job's cool though.

But I just realized that I get lonely at night. It's like after work, I have no life.

I know I'm supposed to be doing business, but the friend who dragged me here in the first place, isn't here.

How lame.

Finally

I did it. I ran away.

Well, I'm finally here, just finished unpacking my stuff.

Now I don't know what to do.

My housemates are cool so far, but we don't talk much yet.

I'm bored. And I got two days to kill.

Die

Got in a major fight with my dad.

I wonder if he even cares about me.

On second thought, I just wish he would die.

Work

I officially have 8 more days to enjoy my life as an unemployed degree holder.

Sucks that I have to start working again. I'm getting used to my unemployed life. Or shall I say, self-employed?

Speaking of which, a friend of mine called me the other day saying he wanted to buy my brownies to sell at his shop. I don't have much baking skills, but my brownies are good. Or so people say.

Turns out he didn't sell a single piece, even though they're damn good. Because my brownies are hideous in terms of appearance. I have good baking skills, but sadly I don't have cake decorating skills.

I need to find time to learn to be creative. It's important that I do if I want to open my own bakery one day. I heard that you can actually make millions by just having a specific skill.

Since I'll start working soon (ugh!), I'll probably never find the time anyway. Or money. Cooking classes are damn expensive. So that's probably something I'll do in the long term.

See that's the thing about me. I have a thousand plans for the future, but at the moment, I'm still job hopping. Oh I sure hope I can find time to make it all work out.

Anyway, wish me luck for my new job. Still got a lot of shopping to do.

I need proper shoes.

Debit card

Yesterday when I was at the bank, I learned about debit card.

And I got excited.

Then I found out debit card has existed long ago.

What a noob.

Friends

It's 3 AM and I can't sleep. So I decided to blog instead.

One thing about friends is they talk a lot.

Another thing about them is they love to make promises. They promise they'll be there for you, be your shoulder to cry on, and be your friend forever.

But when the time comes and you really, really need their help, they just seem to disappear.

Well I'm different. I don't make promises I don't intend to keep.

Slow service

Went out with my colleagues to KFC for supper. There were about 8 people in the line. It was half hour before my turn came.

If you wanna give service THIS slow, you should just die.

Rent

I need to find a place to rent.

I'm currently living in the city, but my new job is somewhere in the suburbs. It will be quite far for me to commute.

So I logged on to a local website where they advertise rooms for rent. I looked for the cheapest one. There were numerous. Almost every room was cheap. When I found a room I liked, I immediately dialed the number on the advertisement.

No answer.

The same thing happened for the next advertisement. I must have looked at 100 different advertisements, and dialed 20 different numbers. Most of the calls were unanswered. For the calls that were answered, the rooms were either taken or had a glitch. Or I had to SHARE it with someone.

OK, first of all, I don't SHARE. My room is my room. Your room is whatever the hell you want it to be.

Second, if the room is already taken, please remove the advertisement from the website. Need I spell it out for you?

In the end, I was only happy with two rooms. I guess it's better than none right? I'm going out this Sunday to check out the two places. But one of them will be out of town on Sunday so I guess I have no choice but to take the other place.

I wish there was an easier way to get my own place.

Stupid

Just now I was off to the bank to open up a new bank account.

After the lady gave me my new ATM card, she said to me, "to activate your account, you have to make your first transaction at any ATM," she then handed me a piece of paper. "This is the PIN number for your first transaction. After that they'll ask you to change your PIN number and you must change it."

So I was like, "Okay."

So I went to the ATM and punched in the 6-digit numbers the lady gave me. I punched it wrong. Three times. The machine blocked my card.

So I went back to the bank.

"Back so soon?" the lady asked.

I told her what happened.

She just smiled and unblocked my card. She told me to try again tomorrow since I have exceeded the maximum number of tries for today.

It's a shame there's no cure for stupidity.

Crime

Last night I received a phone call from one of my girl friends, and she was crying.

She told me the story.

She was at a fast food joint, having lunch with her friends. She put her camera on the table.
Suddenly, three foreigners (two guys and a girl) came towards her table. The girl asked my girl for the time. So she looked at her watch and told the foreign woman.
The foreign woman then thanked my friend and left.
After they left, my friend saw that her camera was gone. And she started crying. Until now. Because it's not just any camera. It's the Nikon DSLR. The one that costs a fortune.

Foreigners should go back where they belong. They are obviously increasing the crime rate in our country.

And people keep coming up with new ways to reduce the crime rate in the country. But for me, there is only one way to stop crime:

Stop participating in it.

Cake

Just came back from my cousin's engagement party. Yes, there was cake. No, I don't know how much cake I ate.

I am so sugar overdose now. And calorie overdose.














Also at the gathering, I found out that one of my uncle has Alzheimer's. He went out and never came back home.

My poor uncle.

Annoying drivers

Today I went out for pizzas with my brother. Most days you can never get a parking spot in front of the pizza parlor. But today, I must have gotten lucky. I found a parking spot right in front of the pizza place.

After our lunch, we went back to my car. And found another car parked behind it, leaving only a ridiculously small space between the two cars, making it impossible for me to get out.

So we waited for half an hour for the idiot driver to move his ugly car out of the way. I was waiting for the driver because I myself have a few things to say to him/her.

The driver never showed up. Then it started to drizzle. I was beyond upset. I was tired of waiting. Not wanting to get caught in the rain, I put my gear into reverse and made my first attempt to get out. I failed.

Believe me, it wasn't easy to get a car out in such a small space. But since I am a good driver, I managed to get it out. After six attempts.

When I finally got out, before driving home, I left a little note to the jackass.

"Unless this spot is reserved for jackasses, go park somewhere else. People like you should die."

Beautiful stranger

As I was walking home from the clinic headed towards the subway, I heard a female voice crying out.

"Hey! Hey, sister! Wait up!"

I turned around to find a girl running towards me. She was about 20. I have never seen her in my life. But when she called me "sister", it somehow touched my heart.

"Hey," she said. "Can you tell me how to get to the subway?"

"I'm also headed there," I told her. "Let's walk together."

"Okay, cool," she answered.

She was from out of town. She was headed to the subway to return to her hometown for the weekend.

We were going different places, but headed the same direction. So we ended up on the same train and sat side by side. We talked some more.

When the train arrived at my stop, I started to get up towards the door.

"By the way," the girl said. "What's your name?"

I told her. "And yours?" I asked back.

She only gave me her last name.

Cool chick.

Medical checkup

So I got the job. Hooray for me. I need to do a medical checkup and open a bank account.

I did the medical checkup yesterday. See the thing about checkups is that, before the doctors examine you, you feel perfectly fine. After they examine you, they will tell you 1000 things that is wrong with your body, and it will give you something to think about.

The docs told me my chest bone is a sunken, concave shape and started asking me if I suffered from severe asthma when I was younger. I told him I never had asthma in my life. Then the X-ray showed that my backbone is slightly crooked. How the hell does that even happen?

Next the docs started to lecture me about my bones. I keep telling him, "doctor, I feel fine". But of course, he continues his lecture.

I'll be working as a consultant, not a heavylifter.

Technology

So I went home and typed in the website the bookworm gave me. It had all the books. For free. I downloaded a couple of books by Sophie Kinsella. Ones I've been dying to read but never saved up enough money to buy them.

I downloaded the Goosebumps and Fear Street series. The ones I didn't get a chance to buy when I was a kid. Now I have them all. And it didn't cost me a dime.

Being a bookworm myself, the fact that I now have access to all the books, made me very excited. That evening I went out with my good friend and told her all about it. Her response was:

"What century are you living in??!! E-books have been available since forever! Even I download them sometimes."

"Really?" I asked her. "So why do people still buy books?"

"Dear," she said. "Have you ever tried reading the e-books?"

"I haven't really got the chance," I responded. "Why? Do e-books not give you the whole story?"

"Oh, they give the whole story, all right," she explained. "Just try reading it."

So I did. I made it until 3 pages, and got tired. My eyes became sore. Sitting in front of a laptop just to read a book, wasn't really much fun.

Reading books should be relaxing, not stressful. Books are handy because they are made to bring everywhere. You don't bring your laptop on a long bus ride, you bring a book.

So much for technology.

Interview

So I went in for the interview when my name is called. The interviewer asked me questions about customers since I will be working as a consultant there.

"What would you do if angry customers start yelling at you?" he asked.

I answered, "provide a solution."

"What if they start cursing you?" he challenged.

"Ask him to relax as I will provide a solution." I answered.

"What if they start cursing your family?" he continued.

"People still do that?" I asked him before I could stopped myself.

No, seriously. I've always thought that, by now, everyone has become civilized people. Or maybe not.

E-books

So I went for an interview after weeks of job hunting. While waiting for my turn, I started to read a book my friend lent to me, which I haven't had much time to look into. The girl sitting next to me was also reading.

"What are you reading?" the bookworm asked me.

"Some chick lit. You?" I asked back.

"About a court case," she answered.

Oh wow. "What kind of books do you read?" I asked.

"I used to read a lot. But now there are so many new authors and I don't keep up anymore. I just download e-books."

Then she gave me a website. It was a website I am familiar with. Only I go there to download songs only. I didn't know they had e-books.

What a noob.
