Next week is officially finals week! FINALLY!

Then I get a one month break and then 4 more months until school is over for me! OH MY! It's going to be a busy and great semester. I have plans with my fraternity and I also have plans with the Filipino Club. I just want to be active my last semester of college. When is the last time I'm going to be able to do this?

My birthday is coming up next month. I'll be 27! How do I feel about that? Eh...not too bad. Most importantly my graduation is this May, which I'm way more excited about than turning 27. I've been day dreaming a lot lately and I have a few things on my wishlist.

First off, I want a puppy: Yorkshire Terrier along with a Coach dog collar and carrier!!!

I LOVE MYSELF SO MUCH! hahahaha

For my graduation, I want a Tiffany Cross Pendant:

I think that's enough to hold me down for awhile. Especially since they both will put me in the hole for awhile. LOL!

I CANNOT WAIT!!! HEHEHE I want the puppy for Christmas, but I doubt it because I have nowhere to put the pup...oh well. It'll all have to wait until after graduation.

I am sooooo over school. I can't wait til next semester begins! I hate this semester, I don't know why though. Maybe it's the classes, they're boring. I just wish they weren't so repetitive.

I don't know where my motivation went. I am so unmotivated this semester. I am so thankful that last semester was my hardest semester because if that was happening now, I probably wouldn't do so well. LOL. Let's just see how things work out this semester when I grades come in. At this point, I just hope I pass!

Ya, it's that bad! I know I'll just have a slap on the wrist. What's the big deal?! LOL!!

Sigh, crazy semester!

But I am thankful that I joined a co-ed fraternity! I met some cool people and I'm very proud to be part of such a great organization.

Anyway, I have two more weeks until school is over. Last day is the 20th I believe. I also have a new job working in a law office. The lawyer I work for is pretty well known in the Filipino community here in the Bay Area. He knows my passion to serve the community and issues dealing with Filipinos. It's so interesting why we cross paths with people in our lives. I'm sure he'll be somebody who will help me network with the community. The funny thing is, I think my dad is like 1 year younger than him LOL! SOOO WEIRD cuz he has kids who are still in elementary school. hahaha OMG, so weird!

In any case, I think it's a good place for me to work at. I'll learn so many things.

Anyway, no other news than that! Keep you all posted!

I am pleased to announce that I am finally a member of Tau Delta Phi! Here are some pictures I'd like to share from our Formal evening.

Here I am with my brothers and sisters having drinks before our meal at Spiedo's. Oooh yes we're fancy!

Here's Lisa and I at the end of the evening...waaay tired!

And finally here's my big sib Josh and I. (Can someone photoshop those pimples off my forehead hahaha!)

"Dear Diary,

When did I get here? Somewhere out of all the pain came a man who was strong, beautiful, sensitive and Christian..."

- Helen, Diary of a Mad Black Woman

After I finished writing my last blog about my interview, I thought about it even more...and somewhere deep inside of me I hoped that I didn't get a call back. I seriously couldn't see myself working in that place. I tried to be realistic about it, but if I ended up getting that job...it would have surprised me. I also realized that if I did take on the job, I would most likely end up leaving because I felt out of my element.

So, the story goes...the job wasn't for me and I knew it...so I didn't get the call back. It's a blessing in disguise. I only have a few more months until school is over, what am I to do? I am waiting on one more promising opportunity and I can only hope. I may end up working at the mall because it's some money and it's flexible.

Next semester should be better because I'll have less classes and the schedule should be better. I'll get out of school by 1:30PM M-TH and have more time to work. It's sad to see me get a mall job, especially after having a corporate job. But I have to swallow my pride and understand that my education is a lot more important than some job.

I only have 6 more months...hehe 5 minus the whole month off for winter break. I cannot believe it, that just means I have to get my graduation paperwork sent in. I have been lagging this whole semester! I didn't realize I should have arranged it a year in advance...but I guess what matters most is that I graduate.

I am excited because I'm also thinking of doing Study Abroad in Paris. So people, my dreams will come true...I will be in Paris for a month. Hopefully it will work out because from what I understand I have to be an undergrad in order to be eligible...we'll see after today in the information meeting.

My interview was yesterday and when I walked out I mulled over what it all meant...

It was hard to read them, I wasn't quite sure if they were excited about me as a candidate. When I did speak, they seemed excited...seemed...

I tried to make sure that I let them know that I was genuinely interested. They entertained my questions and inquiries...but that doesn't say much. They want someone excited about working for them, but not to the point where they can't get their job done. I know I didn't come off like that because I don't know too much about the industry.

I know that it is a growing business and that's exciting in itself. But what can I provide the company other than my professionalism? There are so many candidates for the position. So I am competing with others who might not know how to do the job well, but will be excited about the industry. Darn! It sounds like to me that they will be doing a second round of interviews. I wonder if I'm even going to be considered for a call back...

In the second interview I get to meet with the owner of the company, which is intimidating because I'm going to need to show that I'm enthusiastic about working for them.

How do I pull that off when I don't know anything about the company and what they do?!?! I have general knowledge but I'm not enthused...I have a bad feeling about this...not sure if I'll get the job.

The things I think I have going for me is that I'm outgoing, laid-back, dependable, professional, creative and have a knack for sales...so I know their looking for those qualities. Plus I guess it doesn't hurt that I'm female, 26 and somewhat attractive...LOL!

By now you're all probably wondering what sort of position I applied for and for what company. I tell you what, if I land this job...I'll tell you all about it!!! PROMISE! But I would have to keep some things confidential, so I can't give too many details.

The thing is, I think it would be exciting to work for this company! It would definitely be something new for me. What I would get out of it is that it would break me out of my shell...I'm so antisocial.

I'm doing so many things that I wouldn't normally do, just to get me out there in the world doing things. For instance, I am joining a co-ed fraternity this year. It's a way for me to socialize, connect and be part of the college experience. I have always been this invisible being at school and I want to be visible but not in the spotlight.

I am even thinking of joining the Filipino Club...is that weird? I think it is! hahaha The only reason why I even considered it was because one of my friends in my department at school is the president. I told her I just wanted to be part of the Filipino Folk Dancing...hahaha! I wanted to experience that again. I remember loving it in high school. I figured it would be fun, just for old times sake.

There are soooo many things I'm looking into and considering for myself. The choices are endless. I'm thinking of doing a 3-week study abroad in Paris...*sigh* It's 4 grand for the whole thing, everything included. It's a great opportunity and I would do it during the summer! Isn't that great?!?! Hopefully whatever job I choose would let me take off for those 3 weeks.

I was even looking into taking horseback riding lessons...it's expensive I tell ya. But it's something I've always wanted to do. It's also something I'd want my children to experience. I really want my kids to have a country lifestyle. It's weird, I know it...but it's so true.

Anyway, I'll keep you all posted on information about getting a call back. I should know by the middle of the week. WISH ME LUCK!!!

I'm out on the hunt again for a new job! Too much bad juju right now. The schedule is just killing me. I am going to work, driving to school and going back to work. It's just draining. I don't know why I even agreed to it. Some wonder why I made my school schedule like that. It's not like I had a choice...the classes I needed only had one offering. There really is no way around it other than taking 2 classes per semester, which is ridiculous! I would never be done with school with a schedule like that. And besides I wouldn't be happy at that rate. I'm happier making school my number one priority, then work. Because work is inevitable...I will be working for the rest of my life!

The new job that I'm interviewing for fits my current schedule. They need someone in the evenings, which is perfect because that means that I could be at school during the day. I could do my homework and studying in the morning! Which I absolutely love, because I'm a day person. I love my evenings for leisure. I was never one to work during the day and take classes at night...sigh it just wasn't right for me. It always threw me off and made me crazy, you know why? Because after class I always wanted to hang out...but it was always waaay too late!

I am going to have a 4 week break between semesters and I was thinking of getting a mall job during that time. Another perfect situation because it would be exactly just that...a seasonal job. I like to stay busy, but not too much to the point where I'm spreading myself thin. I've been there before and it never works out well. I always end up giving something up and it's usually the job.

My sanity, my happiness and my health means more to me than money or a job. I would rather go to school than work, that's always been my way of thinking. So right now I only have about 6 more months until I graduate...isn't that weird? If I don't count the break in between I really only have 5 more months! *GASP* Is that weird or what?

Next thing you know I'm back in school getting my masters! WOW! Am I really going to get that far? I hope so! Let's see what the future entails! Keep you all posted on the job interview! Wish me luck everyone!!!

Ever since I started working at my job I started to gain weight. I was 107lbs when I first started and then now I'm 116lbs! =X

So I gained about 10lbs. I know it's not too bad, but I want to at least get back to 108lbs.

What I've done differently is going out to eat, eating really late at night and not exercising as much. So in about 4 months I gained 10lbs.

Bad habits man. My metabolism used to be so high that I could eat anything I wanted and I wouldn't gain a pound. Oh well, no more of that now.

So here's my plan. For the next 5 weeks I won't go out to eat. It will be very difficult because that's breakfast, lunch and dinner. This is what I've got in mind:

Breakfast
- Shake
- Oatmeal

Lunch
- Sandwich
- Spaghetti

Dinner
- Salmon
- Chicken Breast
- Taco Salad

I'm so sad...back to boring food. LOL I'm not used to it, I'm always going towards fattening foods. It's hard when the friends you keep don't eat healthy. It's hard to be SELF-disciplined. What's so funny is that all this food just to lose 10lbs has no flavor. For the past few years I taught myself to have a bland palette. It's crazy but true. It's what really help me lose all that weight. And I had cottage cheese almost every single day. I think I need to start leaving cottage cheese at my work and but some fruit to keep at my desk. I need to start eating fresh fruits and veggies again.

I'll keep you posted if things do improve. Plus I need to start going to the gym at least 3 times a week. What I'm doing is just not enough. Currently I've been going once a week and I do cardio for 30 minutes. That's hardly anything!

So, my workout plan will consist of 1 hour cardio, 3 times a week. Then once I build up my endurance I should do 45 minutes of cardio, 5 times a week. If I reach my target goal, I should do 30 minutes of cardio, 3 times a week.

It takes so much work, but hopefully I'll feel that it's eventually worth it.

Ever been on a job interview and been asked what are your goals for the next five years?

Well I was just thinking about that ever since my last blog. And well I guess after lots of things I've been going through my friends keep telling me to follow my dreams.

So last blog I mentioned if I could do anything, blah blah this and blah blah that. Well this blog is going to be full out for the next five years:

Year one 2008:
- Graduate from college May 2008
- Live in Europe for two months (1 month in Paris, 1 month in Venice)
- Focus on my career for the next two years
Year two 2009:
- Focus on my career year one
- Go to NY Fashion Week
Year three 2010:
- Focus on my career year two
- Go back to Europe to visit (Spain, Germany, England?)
- Do Summer seminar on Business at Cal
Year four 2011:
- Grad School year one (MBA program at Cal)
Year five 2012:
- Grad School year two (MBA program at Cal)

I'll be 31 when I get my MBA...wow. I see it happening though, hopefully. But so far those are my dreams.

As far as my goals for the next ten years I don't have any for sure plans on what order I'd plan everything but I do know what I want or look forward to:

Buy land, or have a farm
Get married
Have children
Be successful in my career

*sigh* I feel like an old woman right now, don't know if I'll ever get any of this done...but I could always dream right? I think I'll just go with the flow.

Honestly, I wouldn't know...

I don't feel like I'm in school...it doesn't feel like midterms. I don't feel pressured. I took a few exams already, got good grades. I had a few papers due, no biggie. I even have a 5 page essay due tomorrow afternoon which I haven't even really prepared for because I haven't done any of the reading. Ok I lied I did some right before I jumped on the computer. LOL

I plan to get ready to take a nap and then wake up at the crack of dawn to start writing. Sigh...that's my usual routine. Maybe I'll go to work and do it just so that my body is in the building. Besides, I have all the resources there. I can print my paper and everything. LOL

That sounds like a great idea...

I'll admit I'm bored with school...I thought my senior year would be a lot more challenging. So, since I'm bragging about how easy school has been I better get a good grade. I kind of have a feeling I won't. I'm thinking I'm going to get all B's for my classes. I just have not applied myself. My brain is never in class, it's always somewhere else.

When the professor calls on me I've got an opinion ready for him that I borrowed from another class. Many of the topics overlap and it gets old for me. Hopefully next semester I'll learn something new. Not sure. I'm almost banking on an even easier semester. I just need to get through this and graduate.

I'm even considering on going to grad school. Maybe after I work for a few years, I want to go to Cal and I've done the research...it's pretty darn expensive. So maybe after I pay off an old student loan, put some money aside, work on my career then maybe...just maybe I could go back to school.

If I could work my life schedule any way I wanted to I would take 2 months off from work and live in Europe, maybe in Paris or Rome. I want to be like Audrey Hepburn in Sabrina and come back a class woman.

At this point in my life since I haven't really started my career I still feel like this little girl. I know once school is finished I can really start my life. I want to go to Europe and find myself. I've lost myself. I've always been a part of something and never really been me.

I want to meet new people and I want to hear new ideas and try new things. I want to live life differently. Just need to finish school. I have 7 more months people!!!

Which reminds me, I have to turn in my paperwork =X I can't graduate without it! SHEESH...I'm saddened because I won't have my name on the Graduation thingy... How is that? I'm so bad at these things!

Well hope all of you who read this can go. It will be lots of fun I'm sure. It's on May 24th and the weather is always perfect on grad day too! YAY...I'm excited just thinking about it!

I was looking at the calender a few moments ago and was looking at November and December. I was shocked...I only have 2 months left for this semester. It's crazy...it feels like time flew by and I hardly got anything done. I was falling behind before but now it feels like I'm slowly catching up. And before I know it it's finals! My last final is on December 19th. It's crazy because I'm not back in school until January 23rd.

Then after that it will be 4 more months of school and I'm done! I better do something for spring break...it's going to be my last as a college student. My spring break is the week of Easter...how boring. Hopefully I can go someplace warm...there are just so many plans!

Just wanted to post some pics from one of many trips up to the city with my pinsans...

We just love shopping in the city! hahaha

The key is finding balance...

The difficulty is that I feel that I need to spend more time at work, I feel guilty and my co-workers make sure that I do feel it (minus one - she's so thoughtful of my needs! I just love her!).

So, as a result work is hurting school...

But, why even work part-time if that's the situation? Well, the way I look at it is that my team should be able to pick up the slack. Yet, do they? NO!

They don't, instead they act like chaickens with their heads cut off and when I am there I run circles around them. It's pathetic...I think my boss knows that I feel that way about it. And I'm guessing so do the other executives.

I think they're afraid that I'll walk away from the job and lately I've noticed that they've been acting complacent toward me. Companies and corporations will never beg for someone in a position like me to stay, they could easily find a replacement. Essentially, I need this job as much as they need me.

The fact of the matter is, I don't need this job for financial security, I just need it for experience and entry into not only the industry but into the corporate world.

It can be difficult most of the time when you don't have access to the right network of people or to get your foot into the door of the corporate world if you're not already in it.

An honor co-ed fraternity sent me an invitation to join, I'm seriously considering it. I'll need it for my future. Because I've realized if you don't have the experience or know someone who works in the industry you want to get in you'll have a hard time getting in without first paying your dues.

Most college graduates finish school and assume jobs will just be lining up, as was the case for me a few years ago when I finished my Business Degree. I was sure I was going to start off making a certain amount of money but boy was I wrong. My pride was crushed and I thought of an alternative way to handle that, go back to school and study to be a nurse. How even more naive of me!

I felt like I was conforming to an ideal, be a philanthropist and get paid doing it! I wanted to work with children with life threatening diseases and disabilities. Right before I was about to go into Nursing School, after two years on working on prerequisites, I decided to bail. Why? Because I was being realistic. Do I want to work long and hard hours and get paid at most $70K? Um no...

I realized my goals were higher than that...I realized I had so much talent and potential. I could make twice that and do less work in the corporate world...I could be a philanthropist for free by volunteering my time.

The reality of my situation now at work is that I'm not going to be doing what I'm doing for long, it's temporary and I will transition to bigger and better things. But, do my co-workers realize that? I don't think that they do. I think they feel that I am going to retire in my position like they'll eventually end up doing. I don't think they realize that there's a broader horizon in my future...

Overall, I think that if I suck it up, deflect all the hatred and focus mostly on school then I should be able to graduate on time with honors and still find a place to work at after. I just need to be professional about all the stupidity I'm surrounded by and be humble about it all. Beggars can't be choosers!

And make it a good one! I flew down to San Diego for my friend, Renallyn's wedding. It was great fun, hot, but great fun!

Here's the only picture I got of the happy couple, Renallyn & Tony:

Here I am with my friends, Marco, Dwin (compensating for my height!) & Jayne:

So, school is makin' a comeback...

Ya, I'm kinda excited. My last year and all...WOW I'm almost finished. FINALLY! And here's the situation with the JOB. I'm keeping it. Yes sir!

So, they know my situation. They know I want to finish and they know I want to finish right away. So I can keep the job on a part-time basis. But the thing is, the place is pissin' me off!

I'm a temp, there are a couple of perms...and they suck butt...

One has been there longer than me by a month, she's older though, and she still can't get her shit together. I respect the woman and all, but damn I pick up the slack.

So, I'm worried. What will happen when I'm not around to pick stuff up when it's fallen? I'm sure they'll all survive, but they'll run around like chickens with their heads cut off. (Should I care, probably not...)

I'm dissatisfied with the job really. I feel like they should pay me more for what I offer them...but unfortunately I can't ask for much if I'm just around part-time. What can I do?

Nothing I guess. Just suck it up?

Once school starts back up again, I won't be around much..I'll be busy. I'll deal less with my incompetent co-workers...and more with academics.

My brain is bored at work, that's what it is...I need a challenge. So, school will feed my need for brain-food.

Hopefully that will feed my boredom and I will love my work again. It sucks being young and talented, we just want more more more. It's so true...

What should I do? Should I ask my boss for fun and interesting projects??? Hmm it's a possibility!

Hopefully things that will have something to do with Marketing and Sales...hmm interesting!

*sigh* If things don't improve for me in 1 months time, I definitely need to take some action.

If I don't get approached with an offer, then I'll approach with a suggestion. If I don't get what I want, then I'll look elsewhere...

Hopefully, the place I find will pay me more if I have to look somewhere else...

I've got the perfect situation really, but let's just see if it's meant to be. I'll keep you all posted!

So, everyone knows I'm BrownSkinLady408. But not many of you know what it means or where it's from. Yes, I'm brown and yes I'm female and from San Jose...but it's not quite that blatant.

I got the name from a Bobby Banduria song. Many of you may not of heard of the band, but in any case. I created a photoshop of the lyrics and a palm tree years ago and posted it on a website: DevianART and it's still on there so I thought I would share:





The song defines who I am. No matter who I choose to be with, black, white, puerto rican, whoever. I can't deny the connection I'll have with a brown man (filipino). I may be one of those Pinays who choose to date outside their race, but I do acknowledge my Pinoy brothas out there!

I wanted to wait until after the first day to make it official to tell you all that I GOT THE JOB! YAY! I'm finally working, it feels so good. I'm so blessed that the people I work with are such great and enthusiastic workers.

Ever since I interviewed for them a few weeks ago they have been so friendly to me. I've never met such a friendly group of people in a work place and I used to work for a theme park!

I'm really excited about the rest of the summer while I work for them. I am still thinking of getting a second job because this job just won't cut for me. The pay is good, but it could be better.

I have a good feeling that they would want to keep me on as a permanent employee, but I would have to decline because I want to go back to school. I need a weekend job and the only place I could think of is at the mall.

And the only place I could think of working at is at Lens Crafters LOL. I got a few suggestions, such as at a Spa. But most spas are in the outskirts of Los Gatos and Saratoga, which is too far for me to travel. But would be a cooool job.

I may even consider working at a salon. We will see, definitely. I will keep you all posted! YAY!

Cardio...2-3 times a week for 30 minutes
Weight Training...the whole body. *sigh* = lunges+abs+tri's+bi's+what else???
Low Cal Diet...cottage cheese, fish, veggies

Darn it that means no more Wienerschnitzel and Cinnabon for me!

Hey even though I loss all this weight, I still got a few problem areas. My belly needs to get flatter...flatter I tell ya! And I need slimmer thighs. Work my arms just a little bit more and that's about it. My hopes are that I don't lose my butt and my chest LOL. Gotta keep this PG13 haha.

Hopefully I reach my goal by the end of August, right before school starts.

*sigh* Losing weight is so much easier LOL I need motivation people!

DRUMROLL.....3 B's and 2 A's. Whaaaa! I don't know why I was hoping for 5 A's. LOL It's not like I worked my butt off. I stressed out waaaay too much over this past semester. I wish I would've planned it better. Next semester should be better. I don't know if I could pull off 5 A's.

I'm guessing I'll get 4 B's and 1 A. It's hard when you're not very into the subject. I'm greatly considering on getting a part-time job. I like to have money in my hands so I could always reward myself for working hard in school. It'll probably motivate me to do well too because I'll be reminded of how I hate doing menial work and that I'm going to school for a better future! YAY!

My other choice is to keep the full-time job and go to school part-time, which doesn't interest me much because I know I'll always think about how I wish school was over. So, I might just do the part-time thing.

Anyway, still haven't heard about that job thing. They said that they're doing my background check, darn...that thing takes about a week for it to come back. So, I most likely won't start on Monday. Boo hoo!

I calculated everything and it looks like I'm going to work on paying off my bills. Darn it! No shopping and no trips for me this summer it looks like! We'll see, we'll definitely see. Because I wanted to do a trip down to LA with my non-related cuzzo Crystal and I have a trip planned for San Diego in September for my friend's wedding. OMG! LOL That means I've got to get them a gift too! Oh golly gee wilikers!

Either way, I've got to enjoy my summer! I cannot wait! YAY!

So, I went for an interview today. I think it went great, they asked me when I could start. LOL I told them tomorrow! But they said Monday, darn. They kept saying I think you'll be great and stuff like that. So, I'll hear from them tomorrow. I can't wait, I need some green! I was even thinking of getting some sort of weekend job on top of that. But, I'm not sure. I could work at Lens Crafters or something on the weekend. It might be a job I'll keep during school too, just so that I have some money and so that I can pay my bills. I just have my cellphone bill and my Netflix bill. My credit card bill should be paid off during the summer so that'll be good.

I can't wait to get my new LV purse! YAY! I'm thinking of saving up for something in the fall and then another in the spring. I hope to get something soon. I really wanted an LV purse, but I'm not sure anymore. I keep seeing fakes. I mean it's all about the fashion, not the brand to me. I really like the leather Gucci purses that came out a season or two ago. But they're more expensive than the more classic bags. I might just get the checkbook wallet, not sure. I can't afford thousand dollar purses right now. LOL, that will have to wait.

I'm planning on going to Europe after I graduate, but I don't know if I'll get all my darn paperwork together in time. Oh well, I guess that will have to wait too...I might though if I plan the trip for August. I hear that there are alot of tourists in the summer LOL like me. I hate it when it gets chaotic, maybe I'll plan for the holidays instead. That will be fun and less busy than the summer!

I plan to go to France, Italy, Spain, England, Greece, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Japan, The Philippines, Australia, parts of Africa and that's all I could think of for now. For the grad trip I should be able to hit up France and Italy no problem. I might go to England the year after. Not sure.

So that's one gift to myself that I've been thinking of. I definitely want to get myself a piece of jewelry for graduation. I've been eying this beautiful diamond cross pendant from Tiffany's which is about 2.5k. What I've always wanted were a pair of diamond stud earrings for everyday wear, I plan to get .75 but they're priced at about 6k. I've always wanted some Mikimoto pearls, a 16" choker is at about 2.5k also. So, it looks like I'm definitely going to get myself a necklace. I just don't know what. Maybe the cross pendant because I could use it everyday. Pearls are another story, LOL. I couldn't wear those everyday, it's just too weird. I'll feel like Queen Elizabeth. haha

My plans after graduation are to work for Macy's corporate headquarters here in SF. I plan to work in an entry level position as some sort of assistant to the merchandiser. I'll make the same amount of money anywhere else, which is what I was worried about at first. I grow with the company and expand to other companies. If I wanted to stay local I could work for The Gap, Banana Republic, or Sephora. What's great about working for Sephora is that they're owned by the same company that owns Louis Vuitton, the LVMH group (Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy). Which basically means I could expand to New York, France, Italy, etc.

What's great about fashion is that it is a multi-billion dollar industry, it'll never go down the hole! I love that. So now I'm going into the fashion industry, it seems to make the most sense to me. When I first got out of high school I wanted to get into the entertainment industry by means of broadcasting, but at the time people were getting laid off in that industry. It was because conglomerates were buying up all these tiny stations and firing everyone, so that was out. At the same time, I realized that it was an industry where you followed where the work went. I didn't like that much and it seemed that people couldn't settled down and have families. So I thought alright well I'll just get a quick degree with Heald and get some sort of business degree and I did. I could've worked in some stuffy corporate job, but I didn't because I didn't like the idea about working in a cube all day. I wanted to be out and about. What a waste of time (and money)! Oh well, but it made me look good. haha Then I wanted to be nurse, ah I still went with it even though people said they couldn't see me as a nurse. Good thing I never finished because man that major is way impacted all over the country. But it was pretty darn easy for me, if only there was less hassle getting into it I would be a nurse by now. Oh well! So now fashion, I'm always one to know what season a piece came out in, what store you got it from, the name of the brand, etc. So far I'm settled in my mind about it.

I want to live a glamorous life, I want fashion to be constantly in my life. I will always love fashion. Everybody does. Some more than others. I plan to work in San Francisco and in order for the commute to be easier I'm thinking of living somewhere off the peninsula. Maybe San Mateo or Palo Alto or something like that. I couldn't live in the city, it's just too stuffy for me. I've lived there before, it was fun when I was younger, but not so fun for me now. We'll see when it comes around to it. I might just do the commute, which would suck, but we'll see!

Let me just finish school first and then I'll have more of an idea of what's going to happen to me. I just have one more year left yay! I'm actually gonna graduate! hehe

Hello everybody! Finals week officially started yesterday, I believe, but today was my first final. What a piece of cake! Yay! I have two exams to study for. I'm apprehensive about them because I don't really know my material. But I'm sure once I study everything will be fine.

I am a little worried about the work situation. The agency I signed up with set me up with an interview for a temp-to-hire position, which I am almost positive I don't want. I might have to e-mail them today retracting my application. But anyway, that was the only thing they found for me! I'm really disappointed. I turned in my resume to two other agencies, hopefully they'll get back to me ASAP. I found a two-month position and sent my resume, but two-months is just not going to cut it. I need at least three months! I don't know what to do if I don't start working on at least the 29th.

I'm so worried now! I am willing to work at a mall, whatever it takes! I need the green! AHHH!!!

I don't know what to do if I'm jobless on that day. If I don't hear anything by next week I'm filling out applications at the mall LOL! I need work, I need work, I need work...anybody out there know of places that are hiring??? Hehe

Alright, so I'll leave for now but I'll be back as soon as I hear something from one of those darn agencies!

Hey all! Just wanted to take a break from all the studying and writing I have to do for school. In exactly 2 weeks from today school is over for me! I'm a little scared, I need a job. So, I hope that it all works out for me.

I should be thankful that at least the hard part of school is over. I have two more papers to write, one due tomorrow at 12pm that I haven't even started on! haha And I have 3 big exams on finals week. *sigh* I wish I could just close my eyes, open them and everything is over! But I can't, I actually have to work...

At the beginning of the semester I was aiming for all A's...but at this point I'm willing to settle for a 3.0 this semester. Which is kinda sad for me, but my dad pointed out that it was actually quite impressive. As I reflect on it, I realize that 1) I'm taking one course over the full load, 2) one of them is a senior course, 3) and I was taking a course that was the prerequisite of the others.

If I had not taken the senior course, life would have been a whole lot easier. I should have taken one of the easier upper-division courses like "Physics of Music" or something silly like that! LOL! Darn it! Oh well, before next semester I should have the whole summer to plan what my ideal schedule should be like. I'm hoping to have the perfect balance of easy courses and a few hard ones. *sigh* The idea of it makes me feel exhausted!

I have been sooo tired these past two weeks. For leisure, I did some shopping. I bought myself a new bag...it's a LeSportSac Tokidoki tote! It's cute! This weekend I'm going to try to treat myself to a mani/pedi! I wanted to get my hair done as well, but I just don't have the time to. Darn it! So, I'll try to do that next weekend. I really need it. Hopefully I'll feel more refreshed...I really need to spoil myself for working so darn hard haha!

Ah tonight I have to pull an all nighter, I've got a paper due at 12pm tomorrow. I cannot believe it! I think I should ask for an extension...LOL yeah right! I'm too much of a chicken to ask for one hehe. It's all in my head I just need to write it out. But I'm mentally exhausted from all the work I had to do this week.

Also, in about three weeks from now I can buy my long awaited LV purse!!!!!

What so sad about it is that since I've been waiting this long, I have rethought my decision. I don't know if I want the same handbag anymore... But when I walk into that boutique I just know that the Sales Associates will help me pick out a great one if I do end up changing my mind. I just hope that it'll stay in the same price range as my original choice.

Alright, break time is over! Back to work...
