Chikostick

EDIT: It's actually Chiko not Chico. But it's pronounced the same.

Kevin and I got a dog! Its soo cute. Well, its a chihuahua- common i know, but hey he found it on the streets. We were thinking of naming it Tupac since Mistine and J.T. (formally Kimmi and Brandon's dog) have a chihuahua named Biggie. We called him Tupac the whole day, but I think we've made a final decision with the name Chiko. He follows Kevin everywhere he goes, he doesn't bark or bite, he just licks and naps on his lap. This is the first time Ive seen my boyfriend all loveydovey with the dog. He was talking to it saying
"Youre going to be my companion forever, and youre never leaving my side" OMG i felt replaced for a second haha. Well, Kevin couldnt take care of it because he had to play basketball so I took it home 'til he picked it up. It was so cute, Chiko sat on my lap the whole time I was driving home. When I brought it home, he immediately went up to everyone and expected to get petted. It followed me everywhere around the house, and when I'd leave him alone, it'd start whimpering. When I had to give it back, it was looking at me through the car window while I was walking away, and it started whimpering and gave the sad puppy face. I miss Chiko already, but i'll be seeing him tomorrow. That reminds me, I need to take him shopping for clothes ;D He needs to rock some cuuute ass gear asap.


BTW! Taco Tuesdays. 10 tacos for $4! Sweeeet deal! After Del Taco, Phoebe, Kristine and I went to Chik-fil-a to get the strawberry peppermint and chocolate bits shake. Its so good!! and make sure to try the Chik-fil-a sauce with the fries. LOVE IT!

**Back Story**
Apparently, she wanted to make the hallway appear that it had snow in it, so she decided to use a fire extinguisher (this is something that her dad has successfully done in the past). Instead of there just being a "little poof", the entire hallway filled with chemicals that caused the fire alarm to go off in the middle of the night during finals week.

Now this is her in the car upset that everyone at Alpha Chi (the sorority she wants to be in and presumably those who live where the fire alarm went off) hates her. She explains how she isn't a bad person and it was just an accident.

hired!

UPDATE:

I got hired at Esprit (: finally I get the higher wage I deserve
BUT i just wish that kevin and Lindsey get hired already because it's like eating a pb&j sammich without the PB& J. It's just not as complete andd fun yennoe.

my mother let me drive her car to work today finally. She needs to trust me more with my driving. Seriously.

I put in my one week notice at Pacsun. I was scared my manager Shawn was going to get mad or do something to me because I was leaving, but he said he supported me cuz he can't give me a raise or promote me to sales lead 'til October.


I think I made a good choice.


goodnight.

3am

Its 3am and I just woke up. I slept pretty early last night, and now I can't go back to sleep. Anyways! my interview was only 10 minutes! It was like the fastest interview ever. The manager for Esprit is so pretty and talks quite fast. Overall, it went well, but I stuttered and got tongue twisted a few times because Sheri told me to answer them quickly. I just wish Kevin, Lindsey and I get the job to join the rest of the asians at Esprit haha and I hope none of us gets left at Pacsun because I certainly don't wanna be the only one left there. The manager Josslyn, is going to give us a call by 12pm today. AAHHH! how nerve-racking. Okay i'm gonna go have an early bird snack. gnight y'all

re-cycle

My mind wreaks of your influence. I'm trying to clean up but jealousy and neglect seeps through my brain, putting me back into misery, and yet I get back up and put myself back into the position where I was before.Believing in love has something more. I tell myself to suck it up because nothing lasts forever. Gotta understand, this is a cycle.

Esprit

So I've havent gone to sleep yet and its 1:44am. Its hard to sleep because I've been thinking about my interview for today! Gosh I get butterflies everytime I think about my interview. I dont even know what to wear. My resume isn't completely finished yet. I still need to do my reference, bt thats cake. Although, Im having difficulty trying to find out different responsibilities for my past retail jobs. Its hard because the duties for alot of retail stores are the same, and I dont want to sound repetitive on my resume. I'm going to do my best and impress the Esprit manager because she's only looking for 18 year olds and up. Unfortunately, I'm still 17 until October 4th. I just hoping I have a chance. I should try catching some rest.

Rock'n Fish

I had so much fun today! My coworkers from Pacsun decided to have a "Lindseys bday/Sheri's leaving" dinner. Even though people flaked, Sheri, Jimmy, Lindsey, and Julie were still down. So Lindsey picked me up and we had the funniest conversations in her car. On the way to pick up Julie at her "420" apartment, she was talking about how this girl in her windows display class dropped a mannequin, and the nipple part broke off. LOL! It's prolly not as funny on here, but it was a "you had to hear it from her" moment. When we were on our way to get gas, we almost got into a car crash! Because Lindsey is just a crazy driver who doesnt hold the steering wheel when she's talking to you. S'all good us three had fun on the way to downtown LA. We went to Santee Alley. I felt like I was the only asian there except for the vietnamese retailers. A few hours later, Sheri and Jimmy met up with us and we ended up eating at Rock'n Fish at the Nokia Theatre. That place was so expensive. I paid $30 for my food which was reaally good Salmon, garlish mashed potatoes, spicy macaroni n cheese, and an arnold palmer. The whole time we were eating, Sheri was talking about how great of a job Esprit was, she ended up convincing me to give it a shot. Then I told Kfed how great of a job it was so now were considering on leaving Pacsun. Now we have an interview this Thursday! Wish Kfed and I luck!

My current "shopping" plan on saving money:

EFF LOOKING FRESH! AND GET YOUR GRIND ON AND SAVE IT.



i'm off to work. To actually get my grind on and save it.

risktaker

Today, I finally turned in my entry for the WetSeal Contest. I picked the headshot I took yesterday and the not-smiling bodyshot from yesterday as well. I was having a hard time to choose which photo center to get it printed, but Walgreens did a goodjob with printing my picture. It was only a buck each! wooow (: what a save!
So off we went to the Northridge Mall where the closest Wet Seal was. I was nervous when I gave it to the associates. They were nice so it's all good, but I felt like I was the only one who entered because the girl I gave the entry to looked like she was unsure on what to do with it, but she ended up calling the manager. The guy told me I'd find out March 27th who wins. Good luck to me, but I really don't know how big my chances are of winning.

I got my paycheck today. A mere $88 summ bucks. I cant wait till my next paycheck! I get alot more hours than usual. Although, today i spent half of it already on Jollibee. I spent about $20 again at Jollibee just for feeding kevin and I. It was so satisfying though.

happynight!

wish me luck

To those of you who don't know, I'm entering the WetSeal ModelSearch 2009. I basically needed a head and body shot. I don't have time to do it since work is taking up my whole week. The only time I was free was today, and Friday. So I decided to hit up a few friends to take my headshot. Kfed was supposed to take it, but he had volleyball so James Mojica took them instead. Angeli was our assistant. We didn't have a legit reflector, but instead we used a car shade, but it worked. We ended up taking pictures at Seabridge. Afterwards we went to Fantastic Chicken, said a quick "hello" to Geena at Marble Slab, then ate drunken chicken, pita, hummus, and blueberry muffins at Angeli's. MMM baby!Gosh her parents know how to cook. Their food's always bomb<3>

given up

It can be difficult at times. but they always said to put yourself first and never settle for less. Put your own happiness first, and then others because youre never going to get the happiness you deserve.

truth hurts.


but its not what you think it is.

F*** My Life

Thank you FML for always making me laugh. youre my new best friend when im down.

"Today, I had drunk sex with a girl that I barely know. I didn't have a condom and was nervous about getting her pregnant, but she assured me that I could pull out. Right when I was about to pull out, she wrapped her legs around me and yelled, "Be my baby's daddy!" I couldn't get out in time. FML"

"Today, I found out I won a 20 000 or 30 000 dollar scholarship. After celebrating with my family by jumping around the room for a half-hour, we realized it was addressed to someone else with the same last name. When we called to tell her, she said it was weird because she had received my rejection letter. FML"

"Today, I was sitting in class and I fell asleep during the lesson. I was wearing sweatpants and had an erection. My teacher came up to me and grabbed my penis. She thought it was my phone. FML"

"Today, I went to the movies with some girlfriends. The guy behind us was making these pervy, heavy breathing noises, so we threw some popcorn at him. When the movie finished, we saw him in a wheelchair - with a breathing tube sticking out of his neck. FML"

"Today, I forgot to do my French homework, but since it was an online worksheet, I told my teacher my internet wasn't working. I told her with an e-mail. FML"

p.s. thanks for the website kfed

just trust

__Sadies 2009.
What can I say, it was fun. The DJ never listens. He didn't put in alot of the songs people requested there was a loonggg list of songs we wanted him to play, and we said not alot of old school, yet he does the opposite. He played old school throughout the whole dance, and alot of Beyonce and techno. Afterwards, the hotel party went downwards toward the end, and Dan is stupid for saying people got arrested. And that's how you start rumors. On the brighter note, my boyfriend likes my friends (:

__Work.
The following morning, I thought I was going to wake up with a big headache. suprisingly, i woke up feeling mm mm good. Work was fun. I had something to do throughout my whole shift. Getting people to spend $40+ was a fun challenge. I had to give out at least 50 Pacloots. If you spend 40 bucks+ you get a pacloot and its a $25 off coupon that you use when you spend at least $50. and I got all into it and ending up giving out 66 Pacloots! I asked if I could have my own pizza party haha, but my manager said I get something better. Hopefully he keeps his word! Good news too! I'm getting more hours.

___Trust.

My dad and I have gotten close ever since I've gotten my permit. We hang out more than my mom now. My mom doesn't trust me with driving yet. She's a lame foo. I hardly talk to her nowadays, but on random occasions I tell her what's up with my life, she never asks, but I just tell her like it is. It's weird when my dad sees his friend or coworker, and he ALWAYS has to introduce me to them, I feel like he shows me off like a trophy or prize. For example, I went to pick him up at a party today, and he told me to come down so I could meet all his friends. I kind of didn't want to, but I was hungry. There was this one lady who he calls his "best friend", and she made me feel comfortable, and she even stayed with me and sang karaoke throughout the whole night. Anyways, my dad said my face looks like I'm a kind person. I've never heard him say anything like that -EVER . It was weird. Maybe it's just his "drunk talkin"


This was long.
xoxo

all set.

For the past month I have been stressing out on what to wear to Sadies. I like planning, it's exciting but I stress. Just being busy makes me feel like I'm living my life to the fullest.

The $63 bucks have finally gone into my account from Netflix! What a relief. Just in time for Sadies. Now i have money to eat and get fat and shopshopshop. Anyways, I went cheap and bought my Sadies outfit at T-shirt Warehouse. I did a little sum'summ to the orange and gray shirt though since it was lookin a lil plain.
CHHHCHHHCHECK IT.


I have an ashy weenis. I did kiara's shirt too. I made it into a halter with Soledad's help, but I don't have the picture.

Caption here.

Gosh theres just so much to put in here I don't know where to start.

- I made a new email address
-I'm staying at Pacsun.
-I'm really into video messaging with my phone. If you're lucky you'll get a randomass video message from me. ITS THE THING TO DO!
-Netflix took away $63 out of my bank account. I am currently broke.
-I overdrafted 99 cents for the first time. STUPID NETFLIX.
-I dont know if I'll be able to go to Sadies because again-I am currently broke. Im still waiting to receive my $63 back since I returned the dvds already.
-I'm nervous hosting the sadies rally because it's a tough crowd
-I need to make a new CD. I'm getting tired of my CDs that I play in the car. If you're nice enough make me a mixed cd! <3

Lisa's boyfriend

I can never get over this video.



I could watch :13 over and over again. Hes so bad, yet he gets 4/5 stars on youtube, and at least 293,000 views. So jealous.

thinking

Today I got to hang out with Ashley. We went to go jewelry shopping for Sadies at Amuse and ran into Tamara and Tina. Afterwards we parted from the two of them while Ashley and I went to T-shirt Warehouse, and met up with Mariana. I had to drive the van back home, so Mariana and Ashley followed me and I ended up riding with them. We decided to go thriftstore shopping. It was chill. I just wish I brought cash with me because I found decent cowboy boots and a couple of gold chains I wanted to cop.

Tonight, I had a talk with Sheri about a job at Esprit, but I'm hesitant on applying because I don't want to end up quitting again like Carters because of the environment or because I don't like the clothes. I had a talk with K-fed (I'm gonna type Kevin Tanghal's name as K-fed now because it mixes up with my boyfriend's and his name) about getting jobs, and he definitley had good points. It's making me think alot. I only have such little time to turn in my resume, but i dont know whether it's going to be the right decision. This is going to be hard...


PS. I was super early to first period today! Instead of being the usual late student always walkin-in, I was the 2nd person to come into class. It was weird because no one was really there except for this random guy, but oh well! I'm making a good change for myself (:

goodnight xoxo

Senior Ditch Day I

Today was such a long day for "SDD". I'd go into all the details, but lets make it short and sweet since I need to hit the sack. It started out with serving my detention from 7:27-7:57. Not bad at all. Lisa came to pick me up right after and we went straight to Aly's. Waited and waited til 10 a.m. when Kevin, Mistine, JT, Renee, and Josh got there.Jt drove Josh's car because they had to leave LA early, and Aly drove her truck. Before we started our little trip, we went to go pick up my $87 check. We had to decide whether to go on the 101 to Melrose or 340 to Glendale, Pasadena. We ended up going to Melrose. Half of ditch day was spent weaving in and out of stores down Melrose, the other half was just taking a stroll in the Kodak Theatre's indoor mall. Those two places are getting old, I go there too much. It was 3:30 pm and we decided to go back home. Traffic was a bummer as usual. I went home and took a nap. Woke up with a big headache around 7pm, and then took out my mom's car because my parents left to Chumash as usual. I wish I got to drive my mother's car more often. It's so smooth and lightweight, unfortunately; she doesnt trust me with it. I picked up Kevin, then drove to Jeann's new pad in Camarillo. Everyone got faded and blown except for me. I was the responsible designated driver. It didn't matter though. It wasn't a party anyways, it was just me, Kevin, James, Jeann, and Jimmy. Then at 1am. I had to pick up Kristine at work and drop off my boyfriend. What a long frickin day. I am exhausted; therefore, I shall sleeeep deep bcause tomorrow I have work. The following ditch day better be amazingly exciting!


goodnight xoxo

juicy

Congrats Quest Crew! Ryan Animay still looks the same from 3 or 4 years ago haha anyways I personally think nothing will top Jabbawockeez. Theyre always going to be "THE" America's Best Dance Crew.

BY THE WAY! the MOST weirdest pillows EVER.





goodnight and happy sleeping!

wellness

I ended up staying home again. It was a good choice because I am still terribly sick. I don't want to share my cooties with ya'll. Although, I'm so behind in English. Even though I have an A in that class, I've havent done any of my "Color of Water" assignments. How bad am I. I should start soon because it's due tomorrow, but my body is so weak and needs all the energy for me to recover. My eyes burn frequently, my nose has been running a marathon, I can't taste which means I lose my appetite alot, and I've been coughing non-stop. UGH. Thankfully, my parents have been taking care of me alot.

Today was okay. I got to see my boyfriend and he got me some good ol' cough drops. After he dropped me off home, I felt like I didn't have a life. Surprisingly! Lisa and Ashley surprised me by coming over and bringing me some yummy chicken noodle soup and oyster crackers. bombbb you know it. Ugh, I miss my friends. I think that was the highlight of my day. I felt so special (: I like surprises. Come visit me and surprise me sometime!

xoxo,

Hayle

sick

I have so much to type, but I'll just summarize. On saturday I went to my 1st grade best friend's debut. She has grown up so much! but she's still short as usual. I'm pleased she invited me even though I've havent talked or seen her in years. I took my boyfriend with me because I didn't want to be a loner not knowing anyone. It felt weird because we were the only asians except for her family, and everyone was white. On the brighter note, I saw Christian! He is white, but in the inside, he's so asian. It was cool seeing him. So us three hung out the whole time. I must say, the food was really good. Especially the empanadas. Kevin took 10 pieces of empanadas home and auntie was like"save some for the others!" haha and then I smuggled the Apple cider in my purse. It was so crazy seeing auntie though, when she saw me, ahe gave me a huge hug which felt really comforting. Anyways, I dropped my camera and now it won't turn on. But no worries, I took it to Best Buy and theyre currently fixing it. After Selina's I came over to my boyfriends house. We opened the apple cider and played checkers the rest of the night.

Sunday, I woke up feeling like crap. I had phlegm in my throat. I hate coughing up phlegm because I always have to walk over to the nearest trash can to spit it out. Yuck. I knew I got sick from last night because my bare back was turned to the open door, and it was freezing. My family woke me up telling me to get ready because we were going to go out to have lunch with my other relatives.My uncle let me drive, but soon enough when my mom found out I was driving, she got out of the car and preferred to use her own car instead. She gets so nervous that she doesnt even trust my driving. There were 17 of us, and we ended up going to Hometown Buffet. I lost my appetite because I wasnt feeling too well. I started shivering nonstop and found out I had a fever. I stayed home while everyone went to the mall. My mom came home with a few stuff for me. I had to call in sick at Pacsun because I wouldnt be able to work well. Luckily, I didnt hallucinate this time. When I was younger, I'd start hallucinating, and feel like the walls were moving, and it seemed like everyone was yelling at me.

I didn't go to school today because I still feel like crap. This morning, i kept on burping non stop and threw up a couple of times. I still don't feel well, but hopefully tomorrow will be a better brighter day.


ciao!
