the learning month

february has been my month of learning. i'm starting to feel like a real adult making real adult decisions. though i've had a bunch of people guiding me, it has been a real trip that the stuff i went through is what really gonna happen one point or another in my life.

i learned how to buy a car and how to research and figure out how much i really should be paying. this car buying process was pretty irritating. i went with a company that charged me less for my future CR-V but they're so lazy with following up, i feel like i just gave them free money, ugh. i also learned how to finance my life. i almost bought life insurance. note to self, cancel that shit before it's too late. i got a detailed run through of the different routes on how to invest my money for retirement and then some. lastly, i have learned that being an adult is much harder than we imagine. the boy and i were talking about our future. things don't look too well for us and it sucks because we both wanna grow up and do our own grown up things.

i'm broke now so i've been being frugal. all this time that i've been wanting to grow up and live the real world, i think i'm actually scared to go that far.

i want you

so my sister is for real kine leaving for the army next week. i am honestly a little bit sad over it. my house and late night dining buddy is gonna be gone. who the hell is gonna look over my cat when i'm not around?!?! back in high school, during mr. coleman's class, i wrote a eulogy for her. it was the most depressing assignment i had done since we were doing death and dying. well, i wrote that she leave for the army to iraq and died when a mortar exploded when she was 22. gosh, i really hope this shit doesn't happen. although i'm a bitch to her a lot, i really do love her regardless of whether or not she loves me back. i especially feel bad for my mom since my sister refuses to tell my mom that she's leaving. well, i spilled the beans and my mom was in denial for awhile. i told my mom to keep it hush hush because my sister will go crazy if she found out i told. sigh..

well, i should be getting my car soon. this shit is driving me insane from all this waiting!
my cat is gonna get neutered next week and i hope that will calm him down!

on other news, idk how my future will be like by this coming summer. so much drama and uncertain situations are arising now. i'm scared and depressed. i believe it gets easier each time. whatevers, i will survive.

crave

what do you crave?? that's something like the slogan of honda's CRV. well, i am now a proud owner of one :D although i dont have it in my possession just yet, it has been paid for and such. as i watched the guy count my cash and i write the fattest check in my life, a part of me died. half of my savings went towards a down payment. SIGH! oh wells, car is coming in next week. anyone want a ride??? haha

bye old hello new

i don't think this weekend could get any worse. it all started on friday after my internship. my car alarm decided to fail on me when i was ready to go home. FML at that point and no one was able to pick me up right away. after freaking out and waiting around for almost an hour, my mom came to get me. i left my car there overnight. AAA came by the next morning and got the car to start again. my alarm is disabled now but since my locks for my car are all messed up, it's sketch to bring my car out since anyone could break in now. went to punahou carnival that day and i had a blast. ate all sorts of food and shon won me a giant Cartman doll from south park. i think that was the only plus of my weekend -_-

worked saturday night and i got lectured by my boss for putting school first instead of work. so bs. when i got home, i completely broke out into rashes. i had it the night before but it wasn't too bad so i ignored it. but this time, it was crazy itchy and it spread across my entire body T_T. sigh. went to bed and had work the next morning. superbowl! it was pretty mellow at work until my boss, owner, and coworkers came piling in to watch the game. they were so loud and i was getting irritated since i had customers still and i found it really disrespectful for them to be so obnoxious and rude since clearly the customers weren't at a sports bar or at home. i was getting a really bad headache and its a headache that has been hitting me everyday for the past four days. btw, colts loss so that dampened my spirits as well. oh, and my manager cracked our front glass door because he was drunk. kneed the shit outta that door.

on top of all this craziness, i think i lost $3oo cash. yep, somewhere in my messed up weekend, it must have slipped out or something. FML. sigh, i guess there's always a bright side like my car i hope to get soon!

a lesson

happy february!

this month is for: chinese new years, valentines day, and the great aloha run :)

over the past two weeks, i met the most patient man ever. he was trying to ship his car but he had a series of unfortunate events. never once did he snap at us or blamed anyone else. we even made him wait a long time on accident and he came up to ask what was the hold up. we apologized for the miscommunication for his wait and he blamed himself for being hasty! WOW. if only more people could just take a chill pill, i think life would be a much better place. this man inspired me.

i also attended an elite yelp party at tiki's bar and grill. it was so much fun, free drinks, free goodies, free food! shon and i were drunk by 8pm. afterwards we went to play pool at velvets and late night dinner at yanagi. it was a perfect night :)

the gar is in two weeks. i need to get on it. i got shon to do it with me. that should be interesting, heh.

clubbing as been on a weekly to-do list. im running out of clothes. i mean, i gotta look hott i hit the clubs cuz whats the point of going if you cant get the boys to buy you drinky drinkies.
