First Day of Work

Berrywild used to be fun when I was still a senior in high school. Probably cus a lot of my friends were working with me. And after school, we would all go eat together and go to work together. Those were the chill days. But now, Berrywild has become a lot more strict and NOT fun.

Two years later, I come back for work and I don't see any familiar faces... well that's not new, cus that happens for any future jobs I will have. But it was a bit boring because I don't know what they're talking about and they don't know me. So all I do is kinda stand there and wait for customers or clean while they talk. I feel like an extra on the movie set. Just in the background arranging things. I could eavesdrop... if I knew who and what they were talking about haha. The co-workers were nice, as of now at least. Sometimes I rather cut fruit with fruit-cutters downstairs. I can listen to my own music and chill in the basement. Like living in my own bubble yo.

I tried their new flavors today... Peach (kinda icy - which means it's icier and tarter.) and peanut butter. I love them both. I'm scared to eat them cus no one at work eats them. They're probably sick of it now.

I hope to adapt to their new system and workers quickly! Come visit me guys!! (Sorry I can't give out free yogurts yet cus I don't work at the cash register)

Am I A Good Sister?

I feel like I'm a very sociable person. I love people. I love company. I love making friends, not enemies. I love to listen to what people have to say. But am I just focusing on my friends... and not my family?

I make plans with my friends a lot. I attend people's birthdays and hangouts. But when my brother calls me to hang out once in a blue moon... I find myself rejecting him quite easily. Maybe because I'm so used to not hanging out with him, and I take it for granted that I would see him all the time (besides when he leaves for College... but honestly, I never really missed him). I wouldn't say I have a close bond with him, but I feel like it's because I don't give an effort.

Is it my fault for not going to hang out with him? I'm not exactly sure. Because I did make prior plans with my friends before I agreed to go with him to Crate & Barrel (which he told me he had the whole day planned out). It was such a hard choice. I like taking trips, but the only trip he usually takes me on are guilt trips. Which I absolutely hate. I give in very easily, which might be a bad thing, cus people would consider me a pushover. But why is it wrong to give in when all I want is peace? Woops, I'm getting off topic here.

I have called my friends, which only one I've actually talked to and I ended up going to meet with my friends. I had to break the bad news to my brother with apologies through text, because I can't say it to him, afraid that he would hang up on me... which he has done countless times. Even after apologies... he still keeps me on the guilt trip. Instead of just saying "Whatever" or "It's okay... you better make this up next time!" Stuff I think I would say... he would include a sentence that makes me sympathize, yet hate him. "Whatever. Do whatever you want. I'm just disappointed in you." Really? If you really want me to do what I want, please don't tell me you're disappointed.

Maybe I'm over-analyzing it. Maybe I need to try harder to become a better sister that would sacrifice her play time with her friends to hang with her brother who works six days a week. One half-day out of the 6. "You're a bitch. I hope you know that." was one of the most memorable texts I have received from my brother. Does he deserve this hangout? Is it a matter of deserve or not? I think I should choose him over my friends one day... but when will that be? This kid likes to keep his anger in for a while. I'm not sure how he does it. But when I saw him today, we spoke a few sentences, but he would walk by me with glares. I wonder what makes him hate me so much though. To even defriend me from facebook three times. Talk about being a good brother, huh.

I'm still going to try my best in the future of being a good sister.

Spontaneous Nights

Yesterday, I told my mother I was going out, but I had no plans with anyone yet. I was just sick of staying home, so I decided to meet with the girl who works at Pinkberry and the girl with the saggy boobs. We picked the Pinkberry girl up from work. This man named Kent, walking a dog (Princess), was trying to pick her up as well! Princess ate my froyo cone, and, well, Kent took a bite out of Pinkberry-girl's cone. She was shocked. He tried to ask her out to coffee. Maybe one day, sir, if you're lucky, she might hit you up on the number you gave her. But you do seem to have a receding hairline, so there's less hope.

After awkwardly getting out of that, we went to eat at Lyrics Diner. It was alright... they just burnt our burgers so it was a bit bitter. They lacked in calamari. I liked their sweet potato fries and their service though! Evelyn and I were going to the bathroom to wash our hands but it was occupied. When the door opened, a waiter came out and said "Sorry, it was an emergency!" LOL No need to apologize and explain yourself, sir. Evelyn goes into the men's loo all the time without explaining herself.

Stuffed and in need of a walk, we strolled down to Berrywild. Our old workplace. Berrywild... UPGRADED itself! :O We sat down while reminiscing all the good and bad times we had. Suddenly we saw a familiar face of the guy that chopped fruits and made the yogurt. He remembered us, by face, but not by name. But it's okay, cus he referred to Janet as Bitch anyway. We were planning to work there again, since Evelyn said, "Beggars cannot be choosers" so along came the boss. Who also semi-recognized us and guaranteed our jobs back. Most likely, we'll give them a call...

The night ended with the two girls coming to my house and playing. Twas a pretty awesome and spontaneous night we had. Sometimes fun comes from the unplanned events. :)

BIBIMBAP PICNIC!

Oh, I know Summer kinda started since June... I'm not exactly sure. But I haven't really gone out in a while. I want to go out, but I have to settle the shiz at home. After a long, persisting argument with my mother yesterday, she finally allowed me to go out today!

What do I love about Summer? Not so much the weather... but I sure love picnics! Especially at the wonderful, green-filled grass parks. Today was our Bibimbap Picnic Day! :D I was VERY excited. Everyone was supposed to bring a certain thing to include to the bibimbap and I chose to bring the meat. I brought chicken bits! I was supposedly bringing ground beef, but due to the lack of beef at home, I used chicken breasts. It was BYOR (Bring Your Own Rice) but we bought most of the rice and ingredients at Woorijip. Anyway, it was a big success and bibimbap was DEEELICIOUS. But we brought too much to finish. Had to loosen my belt yo. A belt I didn't have. Hahaha.

Digging in at our first bibimbap picnic! :9 SUCCESS.
Ingredients: Rice, long-stemmed mushrooms (made by Evelyn),
cucumbers, radish strips, eggs (fried by Grace), spinach,
my homemade chicken bits and last but not least, pepperpaste&sesame oil! :D


There were Evelyn and Grace, who were as wild as always. Jeffrey and his gallon of water, spilling it all over Sooin (Ms. DramaQueen). Dahae just trying to be a good mother. And Christina just being Christina. (Sorry I'm not sure how she behaves normally) LOL. It was a great day despite the fact that we had to watch Evelyn change out of her dress in public and get shot and threatened by her watergun all day!

Sighhhh. I wish everyday was as care-free and warm as today!

Internet-less & Cat in Wall

For the past week, I've been internet-less. It was HORRIBLE. I felt semi-disconnected from the outside world ('cept my family) (if it weren't for my cellphone which allowed to me to text limitedly, I'd be fully disconnected from the world). Anyway, I have learned to watch the TV more. LOL. Ever since the internet, I watch everything online. I have also been writing in my journal that I have left behind for half a year (since Christmas). I guess, it was a bit better. More peaceful...

But I'm so glad I got it back now. I wonder if I can actually not rely on electronics for a month... DOUBT IT.

BTW. There's a freakin cat stuck in my wall. I think it's been there for a week already. I heard it VERY CLOSE to me as I was making dumplings today. So I thought it was in the cupboards. Apparently, it was in the walls. Walking around. My dad came home and opened a little crack, but he had to go back to work. And then... I SAW IT. I saw the cat. Who peeked out into the thin crack of the cupboard where it saw light. I meowed. It meowed back. It must've been hungry so I fed it a croissant. The position it was in was not very easy for it to eat. The starving cat kept sticking its paws out to grab the food as soon as I put it on the crack. Not sure if I was spoiling it because the sympathetic cries turned into the demanding meows. Until we get you out completely, I'll feed you a whole meal, ya darn cat.

I took a video. Here are some captures of the video:

The cat's paws and claws are no joke.

EDIT: At around 9ish. The cat finally came out after my dad took the cupboard down. Actually it was reluctant to leave the top, so my dad had to pull it -_-. It was a pretty big cat, but I think it was very pretty. Like orange-ish. It had nice soft-looking fur. Too bad I didn't get a picture before my dad immediately let it out in the dark. But cats are meant to be independent. Bye meowing wall.

I HATE MOVING.

So, this week and the following will be quite hectic.

I've JUST moved into my new apartment (downstairs) and even though it's just one floor apart, it was very tedious. Somehow I think it's making my family become more aggravated and so we tend to argue more about EVERY LITTLE THING.

My brother has been sucha a pest lately. He's like those flies that buzz around your head once in a while... goes away, and comes back. Too bad I can't zap him with my amazing electric racket. My mom, on the other hand is also complaining a lot. So when both my brother and my mom are together, it drives me crazy.

To gloss the floor or not? My brother didn't want his room's floor to be glossed, so my mom goes to his room secretly to gloss it. My brother goes down, and it's just war.

Who has the keys? My mom usually holds the keys but it disappeared. We all got very annoyed looking all over for it, because we basically packed almost everything into big black bags and containers. Digging through clothes and bags was no fun. My mom got blamed and she got really angry. She said we always blame everything on her. She hates it when my dad yells at her too.

It's just hectic at home. I can't wait till everything's back to normal. Gotta paint my walls and get used to my room first. Finally got a bigger room with windows! LOL
