Recent News & Happenings

I was stressing at the end of Spring quarter, but it actually ended well. I’m glad it’s done, and now it’s summer.

I’ve actually been somewhat busy during this summer break. Hooray.

Although... I haven’t been exactly busy with fun stuff, but with other things.

I mentioned in my shoes wishlist post that I wanted to find a job for the summer, and luckily everything fell perfectly for me!

I was lucky to have applied right when a new retail store was opening!

I applied a week or two near the end pf spring quarter, interviewed three weeks after, got the job, just finished training, and am heading to my 1st official work week.31

Friends and others have told me horrors of retail, but so far I’ve been enjoying the work. I haven’t had any problems with customers or anything so far... I’m still just nervous about working the cash register. 

This is my first ever experience working on a cash register. During training, I’ve only been on the register twice, and both times I made counting errors...47 I got really stressed & worried over the second mistake particularly because it was my second time as cashier already.

I think I’m sort of pressuring my self to go quickly (particulary when I see a line forming), which is causing me to make mistakes.

So, NO! Don’t rush! Take my time! Count carefully! 58 (memos to remind myself)


In between that, I had one day to relax. My little cousins came over for a pool day. We spent most of the afternoon swimming and playing at the water park.



Afterwards, we went to Chuck E Cheese! I invited my friend from highschool to hang out this day. It was nice to finally be able to meet and catch up again.

At Chuck E Cheese, we finally redeemed all of our super old tickets we had saved up from since 199415

Over a 1000 tickets! W00t!

One thousand tickets is a lot, right? So that means good prizes, right? WRONG.:14:

All of the ’decent’ prizes were priced at 2000+ tickets! Everything below that amount are just stuff you can buy yourself for like $5.There was an Easy Bake cake set for 800 tickets, but my sister was against getting it since it was just fondant.

We ended up just getting 3 tiaras, 100 tix each, and then letting the kids choose whatever they wanted with the rest.

My sis, friend, and I left early to do a little shopping. I wore my tiara out with pride! I tried getting my sister to wear it too, but she’s too embarrassed to do that stuff.

We just browsed around Ulta and Target. I bought a nudey pink lip liner and lipstick at Ulta and then a CoverGirl Blast Flipstick at Target.


My friend showed us the ultra cheap E.L.F. brushes and compact sets at Target. Amazing discovery! Single brushes are only $1-3 each!

After check out in Target, heard the best line ever! The store clerk noticed my tiara and complimented me. The greatest thing she said was, ”Princess for the day, or princess everyday?” LOL emoticon20  I’m a princess everyday, ya know?


Late during the evening, when my cousins were in their car getting ready to leave, a little doggy came over! It actually hopped into the car, and scared my aunt. My uncle told my mom to pick it up so that it won’t get run over while they backed out of the drive way.

We brought the dog into the house. My sister called the owner from the collar.

The doggy, Dixie, was so adorable! She was a hotdog (Dachshund)!:92:

Turns out the wife (most likely the sole owner, since the collar gave her contact info) was away, and the husband was supposed to watch the Dixie. We had to wait a whole hour before the husband called us back to pick her up. It was near 11:00 pm already! We met up at the park since it was halfway distance between our houses.

After returning Dixie, worst line of the day said by the husband, ”I should tape a hundred to the collar so next time people would keep her.” 

Shoot. I would’ve loved to keep her! She’s obviously not his dog though, so no go.

Despite the not-so-pleasant ending line, that day was nice, relaxing, and fun. I was super glad my friend was able to meet up! There was no awkwardness in conversation or anything even though it’s been a while since we’ve last seen each other. That’s true friendship! 

I wish there were more days I could take to hang out with old friends again, but we’re always busy. It’s also a little awkward to make that initial request to meet up after not having seen each other in a long time. haha

Well, this post ended up being a lot longer than I had planned, but oh, well.


See ya next time,
