I could use somebody.

I made dinner for my friends today.
I also packed my bag.

This is the last project before I head out.

Use Somebody

Back to the city.

My mother and I have booked our tickets to New York for this upcoming Saturday. That's right, we will be leaving in three days. This time we are staying for 10 days, within that time we will be visiting Toronto and Boston.

I would love to spend some time with my friends before I go. The question is, do you want to spend time with me?

To whom it may concern.

I can't seem to describe how I am feeling right now. All I can say is that I am not as content as I had anticipated.

This past month has given me quite a bitter taste of the real world. I never really explained what my role was in this company. Let me have this last chance to lay out my duties for me to remember this short chapter of my life. I was the receivings supervisor, where I was to manage about twelve warehouse workers as well as maintaining customer relations to customers across the states, mainly New York. I was also the inbound and outbound coordinator, where I was to schedule all freight that comes in and out of our warehouse as well as organizing our inventory in our computer systems. I was later given the responsibility to direct our drivers where to move each container every morning. I report to four people. I was driving 80 miles per day, spending about 3 hours per day on the freeway. I had a total of six days off in the last month. I took my only paycheck of $1,600, in return, I gave them my two weeks notice.

I was unhappy, and many of you might noticed it. My mother did, and she was being supportive of my decision. Both my brothers, however, were not. I have extreme contrasting emotions right now. I feel lighter, and I feel sane again. But I also feel irresponsible, and immature. I would've never thought that I would just quit a job without having a back up plan. I don't have one this time.

Wells Fargo never replied back, and from what my brother is telling me, it seems like I have failed again. It's the third time I have been rejected by them, what a shame. The only bright side to all of this is that I have time to spend with my mom and that I will be camping as planned in August. But all of this freedom can only last for a limited time, I will be in need of a job in a month's time. I never had much saved up, I pay for all the utilities in this house. I also pay for my auto insurance, cell phone plan, and for my Altima. I am overall disappointed in myself.

My last day to work was set for this Friday as I requested, but my boss emailed me back and said that I don't have to come to work starting tomorrow. So today was my last day and I didn't even know it. So there it is, I am free guys. I have been working for 10 years, and now I am unemployed. No school and no work, doesn't sound too bad, haha.

We are the images of the invisible.

I am having a very nice weekend. A much needed nice weekend.

Happy birthday to Michelle, we celebrated it at the Cabana Club. Happy birthday to Glenn, we celebrated it at Woodranch. Me and my mother cooked Jennie's Pasta. I also saw Thrice and Kevin Devine at the Fox Theatre today with Marty and Sherman.

My original list of things to do for July.
  • San Diego Zoo
  • Huntington Beach
  • Thrice at Fox Theatre
  • Michelle's and Glenn's Birthday
  • A photoshoot with a pretty girl.
  • Rockclimbing!
  • Las Vegas with who?
  • Cooking lessons.
  • Oh, and I'm going clubbing. haha.
  • Finally eat at Boiling Crab
I don't think rockclimbing and Vegas will happen. But I am planning for Boiling Crab and San Diego Zoo for next weekend.

Personal Banker

I am only one more interview away from this one. It seems like I've been doing interviews for Wells Fargo for years now and this is as close as it will get. On Thursday, I will be giving a sales presentation in front of a panel of managers, followed up with an one on one interview with each of them. It's an expected four hour interview. I can't stress how much I can not lose this opportunity. Looks like I'll be doing what I've been doing in college. Time for homework.

We've been here before.

We have both been here before knockin' upon love's door,
begging for someone to let us in.
Knowing this we can agree to keep each other company,
never to go down that road again.

Your eyes shine through me, you are so divine to me.
Your heart has a home in mine.
We won't have to say a word with a touch all shall be heard.
When I search my heart it's you I find.

You were meant for me, I believe you were sent to me
from a dream straight into my arms.
Hold your body close to me, you mean most to me.
We will keep each other safe from harm.

My beloved one.

You didn't see that sign?

The officer exclaimed.
"We did, we just thought taking a few pictures would be alright."

"Well, this is state property, and we usually confiscate your camera, but I'll let it slide this time."


That's what the four state officials said to us today as they confirmed with headquarters that our identities were clean. We were spotted in a middle of a hay field taking pictures, apparently the location we were on was highly classified. They yelled from afar to tell us to leave, and as we approached my car, a total of three vehicles surrounded my car. We were then in the middle of everything, and questions were asked. At least they were nice (I think the main reason to that was because Shannon was there). I guess art requires us to take risks sometimes. haha. Too bad our shoot was cut short.

Who didn't see this coming?

Junebug


This will be one rough week.

Where at least I know I'm free.

It was a mellow kickback at Jon's place that day.





My mom took me out to dinner today, and we were talking about the younger years. She told me how I didn't know one word of English until my first day of preschool. She asked me how I managed to communicate when I stepped foot into the school bus. I just shrugged, how was I suppose to remember? It happens, I guess.

Few more weeks.

I'm going to quit.

I am absolutely miserable, and I've become unhappy. I can't seem to enjoy anything because this place lingers around me. I'm not exaggerating, I'll be leaving soon.

I'm going to add sriracha.

I had my very first cooking lesson today. Thanks to Jennie, I learned how to make Pasta! The recipe was a little bit different than usual pastas, so I named it Jennie's Pasta.


I believe I'm going to try and make this a weekly thing. One item checked off on my things to do for July :)
