  • a slew of pulses .. as a post.

    i've been so exhausted from work lately.. it's so mentally draining to make something out of nothing. it's really hard to do! especially with a specific amount of stock/products that you can only put out at a time.. i mean.. i can sure as hell just shove a bunch of shit out but the question is: will people buy it if i put it out?

    it's very tiring.. i know on avg i walk around 13 miles a day.. and though times have been pretty slow (avg 16-20k a day in sales) and dead.. i think i walk even more.. trying to figure out what to put out and where to put it and how to put it out.. i wore the pedometer the past 3 days or so and they've been avging out at about 16 miles a day. sheesh!!

    ----

    i've been recently streaming online a lot lately.. which in turn monopolizes my online time. i've been streaming on bunchedup.tv so if you guys are ever bored.. you can hop on over and watch me do absolutely nothing, but drool at the eye-candy that are my e-crushes. haha. so many!

    ----

    ecrushes.. man i've been like off the charts lately.
    bunched up: pip, mark 1 & 2, shawn, don, mike of course and a few others i can't think of right now. lol.
    xanga: chinkzilla. oh i guess that's it. npr32486 is cute too.. but hes not an ecrush... that bad. haha.

    this is not to say that i'm THAT single and/or desperate. i'm just bored a lot online. i wouldn't be that bored and spend this much time online if SOMEONE SPECIFICALLY freaking had time to take me out on a freaking 2nd date. but noooooooooooo. so this is what happens. Blah! all the guys mentioned are str8 and out of reach anyway. so it's all in good fun/play. :)

    ----

    since streaming a lot takes up all my online time, i haven't been able to play maple story as much. ugh.. i want to level up again.

    ----

    it also has taken away my xanga time of reading entries, commenting.. AND posting entries. so now i have resorted to doing this entry in this format cuz i'm so flippin tired.

    ----

    working with WG has improved slightly but only because i hardly ever see him.

    ----

    i think it's time for another detox session with Arbonne. anyone want to try it out? let me know if you wanna order anything.

    ----

    i need more lip balm... and one of those stick-lighters.. or a box of matches!

    ----

    i need to drink more water.. i've been so bad on keeping my hydration levels lately.. soda, coffee, juice.. blah.

    ----

    i went to the scp retailer mixer at hamamori sushi the other day. the food was divine and the networking was awesome. i want to do more of those!! i love meeting new people (with a purpose to network around) and enjoy great food and drinks!

    ----

    i hate the 'sale' customers. i miss our regular full price customers. here's the difference:

    full price customer: do you have any more of these?
    us: no sorry, do you want us to order it for you?
    fpc: ya sure that'd be great. thanks.

    sale customer: do you have any more of these?
    us: no sorry, they're on sale so they fly fast.
    sc: are you sure? can you check again??
    us: they're all out.
    sc: can you check another store??? GOD this ALWAYS happens to me!!
    us: *calls* they're all out.
    sc: UGH! i NEVER get anything good at this companY! RAJKLFJKDJKL!JL:#!!!!!!

    to you sale bargain shoppers.. here is the best advice for you to take everywhere you shop at: ask what their particular policy is on price adjustments. ask if the item you want is new for the season. wait a few weeks into the season.. don't ever wait until the end.. just a few weeks or so will do it - into the season.. heed the retailer's price adjustment policy.. purchase the item.. and then when it goes on sale, get a price adjustment and you get your money back. and then voila! you have the item, and you still saved money cuz you got the sale price.

    ----

    Hermes is having a sale. GASP i know. go get it. now.. like go! ends soon!

    ----

    it still amazes me how so many people are just not aware of season changes in retail. clothing stores are doing trunk shows for spring/cruise 2009 already.. and yet, the home furnishings market is getting bashed for putting fall stuff out in the middle of august. gee.. pottery barn beat us to it by taking all of their summer stuff away as of last sunday.

    ----

    speaking of pottery barn.. they cleaned their windows really really clean/clear.. and i was walking and looking at their new furniture.. and pulled a john... walked right into a window.. except i thought it was a door.. and there was nothing in the way .. i just thought it was the door. the actual door was about a foot to the right of where i hit the window. and i hit it pretty hard.. i bruised my knee! rofl. geeze.

    ----

    yesterday i was so tired from work that i passed out at about 9pm and woke up at 9am.

  • grains of salt.

    i had a really really long entry posted.. and i decided to try the stupid xanga cut shit.. that deleted everything. so now i will give you the gist of it.. cuz i'm tired.. i mean, i was up from 12:02am to 12:47am writing the entry and now it's disappeared. fucking xanga cut crap.. trying to be like live journal.

    what i basically wrote about was in regards to the previous entry.. like.. some people are saying that i should be more careful that the guy behind the wheel could have had a gun and could've shot me up at a red light or whatnot.

    the thing is, is that i'm not scared of that kind of activity. or that kind of threat. i find it funny really. i don't really care for my life or my well-being as others would care for their own. i care more for the people around me.. my parents my sister, my nieces.. my friends, my coworkers. i don't care for my own life. if i die tomorrow or today or minutes after writing this entry.. then so be it. i wont regret it and i wont say that i didnt get to do anything i wanted to do while i was alive. i live every day while not thinking that it's my last, but in thinking that i have no regrets in what i do every day. whether it's bitching about customers or about WG's mishaps, or about my parents or financial crunches. i dont regret any of my actions on a day to day basis, and i know whenever i die.. then it's okay.

    other people are very scared for their lives and would never do what i did.. and that's fine for them.

    here's the thing.. white boys in trucks in huntington beach by edison high school -- are not scary. nothing about them says "scary". you wanna know what's scary? growing up in santAna, where there are weekly shootings, gang bangers and thugs hanging around the neighborhood everynight.. cops closing off your street that you can't even come home to at the end of the day because a domestic dispute has broken out and you realize you're watching yourself on tv as you're trying to get into your own driveway, but you're blocked off by cop cars because they're watching the house across from you. where you can't go to sleep until the nightly helicopter circles the neighborhood/street with it's bright-as-daylight spotlight on the house next door to make sure they dont do anything stupid. where the local gang tags up your house, vandalizes your car and home.. just to mark it as "their" territory.. because they own you and your house and your car now.

    white boys in huntington beach... not scary. that's like saying jamie kennedy in the 'bu (that's malibu if you don't get the joke) is scary.

    and also.. if i was really in danger, i would never post that shit up on here. i'm a very private person when it comes to personal matters.. i blog what i can't hold inside and that i would have verbally discussed it out anyway, but there are those private personal things that you don't discuss with anyone but a select few.. and that's the type of stuff that doesn't end up in a blog.. even the protected don't really know or hear any of those thoughts. even if i was dying tomorrow or next week.. i wouldn't tell anyone.. maybe a select few of my girls.. and that would be it.

    so don't worry bout me folks. if i was in grave danger, i wouldn't even post it to begin with. i'd probably post some stupid customer story instead. not that any of the previous stupid customer stories are any indicators of life threatening situations that may or may not be masked behind them. :P haha.

    What Are Your Dating Strengths and Weaknesses?

    the lack of essentials is based on a stupid reason. i should've made it that i owned my own place and my own car and clothes.. everything it lists are things i already have.. it's only cuz i checked "live with parents" because my parents are living with me.. not that they or control anything that involves me. bleh.

    and idk about me being a pro at flirting. maybe if i'm drunk? haha.
  • why a big fat black camera rocks

    not only are they for taking amazing quality pictures and shots that i could never take with a point & shoot.. but this is my favorite reason for carrying my rebel around with me wherever i go.. even if it's to work:

    when people piss me off while driving, and i return the favor and piss them off... at red lights or whatnot, i whip out the rebel and turn around or turn at them.. snap a few shots.. and they get SO SCARED and back off SO FAST. i take a picture of them, their car from all sorts of angles (if i'm behind/etc) and if i can, i'll take pics of their license plates and car models.

    I've always done this even with a camera phone or the P&S's.. but with those devices people don't really know what's going on or are as scared.. but with a (d)SLR, man are they freaked out. big ole paparazzi style camera shooting in their direction.. man they leave me alone so fast it's hilarious. if they don't leave me alone then i post them up on here.. but i've never had to really do that, have i?

    --

    so today i didn't have my rebel on me! gah. i wish i did though.. cuz this big black truck pissed me off and he went into a turning lane at metro pointe next to scp, and i flipped him off as i was driving by. he saw and got pissed too so he got out of the lane and started to follow me and yelling shit at my car. haha.. man that was great.. too bad i didn't have the camera to take pics of him yelling at me cuz that woulda been awesome. anyway.. i was like, "i have about 45 minutes before i have to be at work.. so if you wanna follow me, let's go buddy! and i got a full tank of gas.. wanna play?". remember he's in a big black truck.. like a Dodge Ram 1500 or something similar.. they get like 16-19mpg (lol that sucks!).

    anyway, i lead him into scp west's parking structure, first up the ramp, then around.. following all the rules and all the stop signs and arrows. not once did i ever go  in the wrong direction.. but he did for sure! trying to road block me and shit.. i think he forgot he's in a truck and that he can't turn as quickly as an accord.. i mean.. i'm not small but i'm still more nimble than he is in that tonka truck! i went through lanes, through the structure, through a few ramps, up the street, down the ramp, up the street level, down the underground structure, around the structure, through a few one ways only and exit only directions, pretty much everywhere..

    i lost him after the 2nd turn into the underground structure. the whole structure can be a giant maze for hide & seek cuz there are a lot of hidden corners and places to park.. i mean, it's really hard to believe that we fill it up during the holidays!

    so i went back to park where i normally park. the guy like.. goes to make a copy of his thomas guide map of where he lives or something.. highlights a specific street in huntington beach by edison high, and writes "you shouldn't flip people off & then park at work - dumbshit! - see you soon" on the back of the map.





    okay? am i supposed to be scared or something? i can only wish for the worst: him to vandalize and fuck up my car. in a monotone, non-threatened tone: "oh no. please don't. ah. ahhhh. help. help. somebody save me. :P"

    pffft, i don't really give a rat's ass!! haha.. only more the reason to get a new car with better mileage and where everything works! haha.

    but i suppose for the sake of it all, i'll park in a new location every day and move it when i go on lunch. there's only 3 levels of parking available and only like 500 parking spaces to choose from.

    if anyone lives in the HB area and knows of this area.. please look for a big black truck with black limo tint on the rear window. he has a white sticker on it that says, "Got Wood?" and a website that has something to do with a lumber company or yard that he probably owns or works for or family owned or something like that. If you see it, let me know the address and i'll get the Asian Mafia to take care of the rest. Or if you want to do something to it, be my guest, too.. I won't stop you. haha.

    I'm pretty sure if I had my camera on me and if i had taken some shots of him, he woulda left me alone too. but i didn't have my defense on me.. lame. i should've just taken pics of him with my camera phone. oh well.

  • too long for a pulse

    food places in the mall should have a separate employee line. we all know what we want to eat.. and we deserve to be fed first.. we are the ones that have to spend our entire day at the mall.. not you. we just want to get in, order, get food, get out. we dont want to diddle daddle in how good the food is or what nice weather we're having today.. we dont care about the rude waiter, because you're probably the one that's rude to him to begin with. feed us first or the rest of the retail consumers shall suffer the consequences!
