home sweet home?

this week was pretty rad.

i had orientation on sunday night at Virgin Megastore. weird people i trained with. but the trainer was really cool. so i was excited. the schedule wasnt ready yet so i said peace out LA and left monday morning to go back to san jose.

i arrived around 3, showered, and hung out for a bit. then my mom cooked me some her delicious homemade chili. yum. brooke came over around 7 and then betsy came over around 8. we hung out and chatted for a bit and then brooke and i saw Dan In Real Life around 10. it was really good. and the soundtrack is amazing as well.

tuesday i got up around 8 and stacy made me waffles for breakfast. they were perfect. then i went to get my car looked at to see how much it would cost to get the dent fixed...oh yeah, i got in a fender bender last week. oops! anyways, it was too much so i'll have to wait until im rich to get it fixed. after that, i met up with ashley and matty and we went to Sweet Peas then to Best Buy so ash could buy Hairspray, then we went to ash's house to watch Hairspray. I then met up with shannon and we went to Icing on the Cake to get some treats. After that, my mom and i went to Holly and Betsy's and they made us Lasagna. then i went to their small group to saw hi to the Garcia's. after that i met up with Greta and we went out to coffee and got to catch up.

Wednesday morning i went in early to my dads work to help with some filing and Christmas wrapping to make some extra $$$. then i had a dentist appt and then got my haircut after that. feels so good...my hair, that is. then i went over to the guys apartment cuz they made their own thanksgiving dinner and hung out with them and lindsay for a little while. then we headed to ashley's to hang out and dance. after awhile, lindsay, matty and i went to john caine's house to say hi to the boys and that was fun.

thursday was thanksgiving and my parents and i went to my dads brothers house in cupertino. it was weird not having my brother there. i thought it was going to be horrible since its the 2 of us and one other cousin. but my cousin had 2 friends from college so it was good having more young people there. then we got home and watched Premonition. it was good, until the end where the didnt really end it. i dont really know what happened.

friday morning my mom and i went shopping...yes, i know, we went shopping on Black Friday. but it really wasnt that bad. she bought me some jeans and a few other things. ashley came over around 2 and we went to get coffee downtown willow glen. brooke met up with us a little later and we walked around wg taking pictures with brookes new camera. then ash left and brooke and i went to her house to get some music for me. then we drove to los gatos to take pictures by the giant gap ad of john krasinski. yum!! we then headed to downtown san jo, took some more pics and then went to La Victoria and got some nachos...YES! betsy and holly met us there and then we went back to my parents apt.

it was really fun getting to hang out with pretty much everyone i wanted to see all week long. i left saturday morning, got home around 2:30 and then went to work at virgin. my first day, it was pretty cool. i was the only female working and there's pretty much only about 3 other girls who work there and one is my roommate. it was 7 hours but it went by pretty quickly and its pretty fun too. everyone is really nice and even the customers were pretty cool too.

i havent written a blog entry like this in a while. one where its more like a "dear diary" scenario. but i felt like it. my roommate and i are sitting in the cyber cafe at our apt building because the internet we've been stealing in our room isnt working today. and the internet we pay for only works on little T's computer so we aint paying that extra $6. so yeah. we're both blogging. good times.

i'm doin' everything for you

...And I just smile and say whooooaaaa
Cause you just got to know
That every time you stay
It never goes away
Your reach is to the stars
And shines like the clouds and lights up this whole world

Bless your heart you’ve made me happy again
It’s been so long and I’m sick of pretending
You’ve enlighted the brain in my head
So stay
I’m going to do everything
I’m gonna make it right
I’m gonna make it good
I’m gonna do it alright
I’m gonna write it down
I’m gonna make a sound

Cause I’m doing everything for you
Because I love to be near you
Something just takes me away to place where I’m happy
I’m doing everything for you
Yeah you know that I adore you
And I just can’t take it

kiss me beneath the milky twilight

life couldnt get better.
ok. it could.
my friends and family could be here.
but other than that, its all good.

ive never felt so good about who i am. who know a few kind words could really boost someones confidence. but it has. oh boy has it!
not only that, i finally got a job and they seemed really excited to hire me. they said they really liked me. i had beeen so frustrated (something i rarely am) and was beginning to get really down on myself. i was really doubting my choices and constantly wondering why people werent hiring me and it was definitely doing a number on my self esteem. and ok yeah, only one place hired me (technically 2 but i dont wanna get into that) but one is definitely better than none!

man. im just feeling good.
now all i need is some friends and a great church.
ill keep you updated on those.
