My Week

I haven't been online in a while, I think. Before, I used to want to be online every single day, now, it doesn't really matter too much, whether I'm on once a week, or once a month, or whatever. I guess I'm just pretty busy doing other things to want to be interested in going online. As long as I'm doing something, being occupied, I don't seem to long for it.

The past couple of days have been pretty laid back, I've just been wanting to stay home (as always), to get things done. We went to stock up on more materials the other day, and we spent a bunch in doing so, and it wasn't even enough, so we had to go back the next day. I went over my budget, knowingly, and I'm just telling myself that I'll make up for it, and get my money back, and I'm convinced I will.

So that's been my life this past week. I've also been spending a lot of time with Dylan. What can I say, he loves me. =) I totally love him back too. It's so nice to be with him. True, he hardly ever keeps still, little baby wanting to explore the world, so excited about everything, but I don't even mind. He's ten hands full, that's eight more than I've got, he's high maintainance, that kid. Every single thing he does makes me wanna say, "Awwwww", cuz he's just too adorable for words.

Yea, obviously I love him. So that's it. I don't really have much more to say, so I guess I'm gonna leave it at that. Until whenever.

I'm Ecstatic

Finally, after looking for it for months and months, and after being told "It's out of stock", countless times, I now own a copy of Jack Johnson's album. WoOhOo!!! I found it in the most unlikely place too, so that's just more than awesome for me. The search is now over.

It was Isa's eighteenth birthday yesterday, and we had dinner with a bunch of friends, who by the way, I hadn't seen in SO long, so it was great. I had fun. We ate at SUGI, a Japanese restaurant in Greenbelt, and as usual, I had tempura, and Dani told me to try the sashimi or whatever, raw fish thing. I hardly like fish when it's cooked, so to expect to like it raw was practically not even possible. And I was right, yuck... yuck.

So we just hung out, and we talked, and just caught up on stuff. Actually, before dinner, we went to Isa's house for a little bit, and we watched the first episode of "Tru Calling". Honestly, I didn't like it, I thought it was kinda dumb... but oh well. At least there won't be any TV time added to my life.

Now I'm in Laguna. My mom and younger brother came here yesterday, and I came today with my older brother. I'm gonna be looking for a bunch of stuff around the mall, there are all these crazy ideas in my head, so I'm gonna be busy busy, but a fun sort of busy.

Also, all the work that Thea and I had put into the jewelry has now paid off. She had a meeting with the buyers the other day, and they loved everything we made, which was absolutely great news. They loved it so much, that they bought the entire stock! Which was even greater news. So we got paid for our labors and our ideas. It's officially the most money I've ever made in my entire life, and I feel great. I'm now looking forward to working some more.

This year has started off so great, I couldn't be happier.

Yea

Honestly, I don't have anything to write about, probably nothing of interest anyway, but I just thought I should write something. If you're a regular page visiter (ha!), maybe you'd like something new to read. But really, I have nothing to say, so how useless is this entry gonna be?

Hmmm... okay, I'm gonna go then. =)

Update

I saw Ocean's Twelve the other day and I really liked it. It was a great movie, really entertaining, and the humor was awesome. That's probably the best sequel I've ever seen, and sequels tend to suck.

I've still been busy working but it's still fun. It's actually not as easy or as simple as my sister and I would like it to be. At first, the initial idea that was in our heads was that we'd buy a whole load of materials, make a whole load of stuff, sell them and make money. Yea, that's what happens but then there's more to it. We have to list all the prices, do the costing which means we have to calculate how much each piece costs, and then calculate the whole thing that we made, and then list it down, write it up for the records, and then make stock, among other things. Not that simple, yet still fun, and it most definitely is work. I'm still excited about it, and I'm looking forward to earning my money.

Yesterday, we went around to this other part of the city to look for more materials stores (that'd be me, Thea and our dad). It's not exactly a pleasant place, and it had just rained so it was muddy. We did find one store, but then it only sold stuff in bulk, so it was much more than what we needed, so all in all, our search was pretty unsuccessful. But at least now we know that there's nothing there and we need not worry about whether there could be other places to get supplies. I'm sure that there's more than just the one where we go to, but apparently, it doesn't want to be found.

Part of the things that I'd like to change and/or do this year is to get organised. Particulary speaking about my things that tend to be just all over the place. So I wanna go and look for little shelves and drawers of the sort to keep my stuff as organised as possible. Hopefully I'll find some and it won't be too expensive.

Also, yesterday, or the other day (I'm not sure anymore) I cleaned my guitar which was gathering a whole lot of dust. I haven't touched it in months, sadly. So I fixed it up and tuned it, or at least attempted to tune it which I'm not and never have been any good at.

The guitar is a beautiful instrument which can make beautiful music if you know what to do with it, which is why I took lessons so that I could know what to do with it. I guess you could say that I was just exploring, and I think that I've come to the conclusion that the guitar is not for me. I definitely love listening to music and just music in general, but I don't think that making music is part of that for me. To those who can play an instrument and make music, I applaud you.

So blah blah blah, work work work, that's all I've been doing, and I'm pretty sure you all don't want to read about any more of that. So for now, I'll be off.

*pensive means in deep thought, or thoughtful, or thinking, or something in that area. ;)

Random Stuff

Well, the Underground doesn't seem to be working again, but I doubt it would matter much even if it were working, because I never seem to online at the same time as any of my friends.

I stayed home all day yesterday just making jewelry stuff, experimenting with designs and all that. It's just me and my dad this weekend. So after working the whole day, I was dead tired and was so ready to sleep last night, and that's even after I took a nap in the afternoon. But for some reason, I couldn't sleep, even though my eye lids were so heavy, and my body was ready to shut down, sleep refused to consume me. So I think I ended up finally getting to sleep at around three or four am.

The day before yesterday (Friday), I went out with a friend of mine who I hadn't seen in about six months. The last time I saw him was the day of the Linkin Park concert last year. So we caught up on stuff, he's been really busy with his college apps, and he just finished and he seemed really happy about that. He told me all about the whole process, it was pretty interesting.

So we went to Greenbelt and we watched "Blade Trinity". I've never really watched any of the Blade movies, except for one, I think, when it came out on TV. He said he liked it, I on the hand, didn't. It was one of those movies that I wanted to see, but at the same time, didn't want to see, if you know what I mean. I do though want to see Ocean's Twelve and Kung Fu Hustle, which I'll probably go see this week.

After the movie, we went to Music One because I wanted to check for the Jack Johnson album which I've been looking for for so long. I'd seen it there some time ago, but I couldn't get it because I didn't have money, and now they don't have it anymore. They actually don't seem to have it anywhere, but I will keep looking for it.

Greenbelt's a pretty boring mall actually, it's just good for movies (the popcorn's great) and pretty much the rest of it is made up of ridiculously expensive restaurants and equally ridiculously expensive shops. I guess all around, it's just a ridiculously expensive mall. So we were left with nothing to do, so I decided to go ahead to another place I had to be.

The replay of the Collision Course viewing party, hosted by the LP street team. We had already done it last month, except we couldn't get the camera to work, so it didn't get to record anything for them to submit, so we had to all get together again and have part two, this time with two video cameras taping, just in case.

I couldn't stay late because I had to catch the train home. Three of us actually rode together and split up at the end. And then that was it. My dad picked me up from the train station and we went to McDonald's to have some ice cream.

Today, I'm probably gonna make more stuff so that they can go to San Diego (I think) to be displayed and hopefully bought. So that's it for now. Til next time.

Off to a Good Start

The new year is already a few days in, and it's been a really good few days. Everything's been going great so far, no problems just yet. I don't mind having no problems at all. I can't see into the future, I can't tell what's coming ahead, so I've just told myself, and I keep telling myself to just take it in day by day, and just to live in the moment, and not get too far ahead of myself. It's been working out.

I've also resolved never to be bored again, especially if I can help it, so that's what I've been doing. I've been keeping myself busy doing things that need to be done, things that needed to be done ages ago, which is another thing, eliminate procrastination. There are just a lot of things that I can work on to better myself, and I'll do it gladly.

So I'm still into the whole jewelry thing, and my sister and I are actually going to put our art and effort into much good use. We went shopping the other day, I think it was just yesterday. But it wasn't the usual mall shopping for clothes and what not, it was actually for jewelry materials. We make this stuff from scrap, basically, so we bought a whole lotta materials to get us started and going. We're hoping to make a profit from all of it. I mean, if we're going to spend so much time making these pretty little things, it would be great to get something from it in return, which is, in this case, profit.

I'm really excited about it, personally, because I've always wanted to get a job, except I've never been able to because I've always been under-aged. It's not like in the States where kids can get summer jobs or stuff like that. Here, there's an age thing going on. So the prospect of actually making money for myself is really exciting. And I'll really earn it, because it's something that I've worked hard on. Even when I was younger, I'd always come up with ways to make money, I had all these crazy ideas, but they worked. I think that may be saying something.

So here I am, barely a week into the year, and I'm loving it. I can feel something, I really think that this is going to be a very good year, if not great.
