and the day goes on

Well,the big news, as everyone knows already, is that I'm staying in states for a lil while! Thanks everyone for putting up with my pranks, I just had to do it after all these months of just waiting....and waiting...well, now I know how people would've reacted if I got rejected instead. So all is well :D

Now that I know that I'm staying, I'm slowly going back to my shopping spree habits. I shouldn't because I still haven't gotten paid (I have to wait till 12/5 to get paid gaaah). And I've noticed that i've been buying pricey things too! All started from going to Costco about 10 days ago for the first time in Seattle...then bought a pair of pants from banana republic which was in the upper $50's(granted I got it during black Friday). Then this winter---arctic blast?---made me want to stock up on winter jackets,both over 100 bucks, which I bought 2 today. Aah! NEED to return one but i don't know which one, each ones have their good and their bad sides!

And then i've been eating out often, which adds to my expenses. It's the end of the month so i need to get a bus pass which costs $81, pay my rent, light and waste bill, oh and on top of that, we've been using heaters cuz it got damn cold...so the electricity bill will be ridiculously high i'm sure.

Then the next month is Xmas! More shopping! Shop for presents! WhohooO! excited but hopefully I won't get too broke hahaha~

So the day goes on just waiting and waiting to get paid...So i can spend more!

Anyways, now that i finally know that I'm staying, I'll attempt to study and get a permit so I can start learning how to drive!

Oh, my life.

moving on...

I made tumblr! Finally! follow me if you'd like :D

banana art

Dizzy Gillespie banana art by my friend. Genius idea, I love it.

i like this postsecret card

I think i have this disability too, sometimes. I think I'm just a lil traumatized b/c of my depressing childhood stories. sigh. Stupid santa clause.

gah.

TODAY is Friday. Thank God. So frustrated at work today. It was one day when, for the first time, I was so mad at one of the client that I wanted to slam the door really loud as I left the office to find her counselor. She's just a ball of trouble in the office every time she comes, the counselor didn't want to talk to her, so I got all her bullshit at the front desk. AND THEN she also called me back later in the afternoon and got pissed off over the phone cuz I wasn't apparently making her life easy. WTF. Oh please. You're at our clinic in the first place cuz you have drug problems, your life would be so much easier if you didn't take meth or crack or MJ or whatever illegal crap you took in the first place. You're lucky we're here to help you, FATASS. (she's not fat but AJ suggested to call people fat when they're being a bitch. ahhaha!)

Ok. Enough with the rant. I have nothing else to talk about besides work stuff these days, because that's all I do now. Stupid. My life is so boring.

blah blah blah...Was supposed to be a casual entry but turned out to be serious. Sorry for the boring entry.

Another random blog.

I moved to a new house! it's a townhouse, but has a LOT more stairs than the Murphy townhouse. I feel like I get my exercise done for the day going up and down the stairs.

This morning, I finished the leftover lasagna from Trader Joe's that I've been savoring for 4 days :)

I also had rice in the rice cooker that's been in there for about 2 and a half days...it smelled a lil funny....but not too funny...I risked myself and ate some before I threw the rest away. We'll see how that goes with my tummy in an hour or so :P

I'm going to portland for this weekend! shoppingggg~~~whohooooo~. First train ride from seattle! I'm excited to feel like I'm going to Hogwarts HAHAH! I'm going to attempt to finish the Other Boelyn Girl on that train ride so I can start with a new book :D Any book suggestions?

It's July and I still haven't heard from the government if i can stay here. I want to unpack things from the boxes, but I haven't been able to because a) I have a small ass closet so b) I need to get an external closet to accomodate all my clothes, accessories etc. etc. and c) I feel like I shouldn't fully unpack things b/c I REALLYR REALLY might get deported if I don't hear back from them by August 10th. I feel like i'm 90% sure that they will accept me, but I don't want to get my hopes up JUST YET. And even if they're letting me stay, if they dont' tell me by August 10th, I gotta leave Seattle for a lil while anyway until I hear back from them. Hopefully if I do have to go back to Japan on August 10th, they'll tell me quick and they'll ALSO tell me that I'm ALLOWED to stay, so that I can come back, not to pack the rest of my shit to send it to Japan but to come back and work here, hang with my friends, and decorate my new room (with a help from Elaine?? LOL).

IF i do get to stay, I have some mission to accomplish in Seattle. I WILL get a driver's license and look into getting a car (although i probably can't do this until I work a bit more...in a year or so? haha hopefully...) I also want to start taking classes to get a higher education. I mean..I like what I do now at the chem dep. place, but i can't do that forever. I can't do entry level jobs forever. I'm starting to feel a just a lil bit on the down side cuz i feel like all I can do is answer phone calls (i mean..i do a lot more than that, but.....T.T)

But what I will be doing a month from now and on all will be determined by this stupid visa crap. Blah. It's very nerve wrecking if I think about it too much. I think that's y I don't like it when ppl question me about this visa status. It reminds me of the fact that I really might have to change my lifestyle 360 degrees---to go another country, throw away my plans and goals, and just...starting all over, when I finally found some stability here in Seattle (friends, home, jobs, connections, etc. etc.)

Sighhhh. Ok, I need to finish up this blog. On top of it getting depressing, I'm on Pandora and it's now playing "Beautiful" by Christina Aguilera. Making me depressed. Positive energy. ok. Bye!

today...

...was productive.

-Went to farmer's market and bought this super sweet, delicious strawberries. Also bought salmon spread and "Quark"--yogurt cheese good with crackers. Yum~~

-Studied a lil at Starbucks to kill time while the manager was showing potential new tenants at my current apt.

-went to volunteer park, took loads of pics, went up the observation deck and took more pics, seriously looked into buying an ice cream from the ice cream car thingy but didn't b/c the person driving the car was sketchy (no offense to middle-eastern peeps...).

-remembered that Bruce Lee's tomb was right next to the volunteer park so went on a mission to find him...took forever to find but our mission was successful!

-walked over to Broadway and went over to Cupcake Royale for a break. I had Royale with Cheese. Delicious!

-went to that newly built art store, Blick, in hopes to find scrapbooking stuff Melissa wanted. Didn't find any but drooled over lomography cameras. Cynthia, Christine and Brian happened to pass by the store too and surprise visited me there hahahaha~

I'm going to miss Melissa when she's gone! I won't get to go around Seattle this much with no one to come with! Thanks for being a good company Mel!! XD

Game that tests your endurance and patience.

Puzzles. I love puzzles. Melissa gave me an opportunity to start one again. I haven't done them in sooo long! It's very fun being able to watch them built little by little...and it's one great way to pass time and enjoy some blah time with Melissa!!! yay!

I was going to take a pic of it every DAY, but I forgot to take the day 2 pictures, so I guess it will be a weekly update. I'm planning on posting how our puzzle is progressing over the week hahahaah~ hopefully I won't forget to post them every week.
