24

        Hey, it's been a while since I did some reflecting. A lot has happened in this month of June. From planning my LA trip to turning 24, it's been quite a ride! There was some turbulence since my mouth got me in trouble once again and I had word vomit and I might lose another friend due to a misunderstanding, but I am hopeful that it'll fix itself with time. 

        Planning my trip with my friend was somewhat irritating at first because it was hard to get her to answer the phone because she's at work and rarely ever keeps her phone on her. Moreover, there were some name issues with her airline accounts, so I had to fix that. I must say, planning trips is stressful. Aside from that, it would be nice to include more people in the future because the more the merrier right? Hopefully it will be exciting and fun because my friend and I are very introverted individuals and I don't know...She's kind of boring sometimes. I'm the louder one out of both of us. 

         As for my muck-up with my friend from the other day; I'm kinda sad and feeling stupid and guilty about it. I texted her saying that it was okay if she couldn't come to my birthday dinner last Friday because she said she was waiting to ask her dad for money and because she hates asking him, and she's broke. I also said there was always a next time. I didn't want to force her to come if she didn't have the money for it. I was trying to be considerate. Thing is, I asked her twice and once more (two days before the dinner) and she couldn't confirm whether she was coming or not since there was a reservation set up for her, me, and two other people. She wasn't giving me a direct answer. It was only after I said it was okay if she couldn't make it that she said that "she was gonna come," and then asked me if I cancelled my plans. Then I told her no, and that it was okay if she couldn't come because she was broke and I didn't want her to ask her dad for money and spend money that she didn't have because of me. I don't know man....I really didn't mean any harm, and nor did I mean to sound as if I was uninviting her. I really wanted her to be there, but she's been struggling financially recently and I didn't want to be a burden. I asked her once more the night before the dinner if she was still coming and she said no, so....*sigh* God, I hope things will mend themselves, because I feel so guilty and can't stop thinking about it. 

        Moving onto my birthday dinner, I had dinner at the Chocolate Factory with my college gal pals K and Elsie. The food was so good and we were so stuffed after. Let's just say we had wolfed down almost an endless supply of chocolate-based desserts and some alcoholic milkshakes and sangria. There was also this tall and buff restaurant manager that K kept making googly eyes at, since ya know...What's a single chick to do with such a handsome Adonis whose jawline and body looked as if he was chiseled by Roman gods, but to feast her eyes on? He looked like he was going to burst out of his shirt any minute with his muscular chest and arms that could turn even the toughest chick into a damsel in distress. At the end of dinner, K finally mustered up the courage to ask about said manager, inquiring about his relationship status and other stuff. K was hoping not to leave her ego empty-handed; instead it was bruised. According to the beefcake's female co-worker, she gets asked about him a lot by female customers and he gets a lot of compliments due to his physique. To get to the point, the female co-worker told K that he has a girlfriend and is "on the road to engagement." Anyway, girlfriend is a lucky woman, and I hope they have a nice and happy marriage. 

       

You Know What This World Needs?: Less Self-Righteous People

            Today was both mentally and physically exasperating, especially when you're around self-righteous individuals. You know, the kinds that think their shit don't stink just because they're so "considerate," and not the type to say exactly the first that comes to mind. Let me also add that they love to rub in the good things that they do for other people and my sister. Oh yeah, I forgot to introduce this one particular individual: my sister's clingy sidekick/ bestfriend, Nicolette. 

                 You see, Nicolette is a pain in my ass. She loves to argue about the dumbest things with me and loves to call me out for being blunt like I give a shit. First of all, I'm not one to sugarcoat things. Besides, people WANT to hear the truth even if it hurts them. Her idea of being "considerate," is holding back and faking it till you make it. And that's not my thing. Anyway, today was my sister's graduation and me, my friend, and Nicolette went to watch her end her college career. I told her about how I was going to nuke my brother's girlfriend's face (because she's got a lot of acne) and how I was gonna get her some skin care stuff (I was planning on getting some for my sister too). To get to the point, that didn't sit well with Nicolette and she started rolling her eyes and calling me an asshole. Like okay. That's not gonna help you. Besides, I asked his girlfriend about how she felt right after and I was sort of trying to help her since my mom keeps shaming her about her acne. Nicolette is an asshole herself too, just an implicit one. Also, let me tell you about how she burned $30 on flowers (that were going to die anyway) for my sister and went on to tell her that she and Tanisha (my friend) chipped in, while I didn't. Um, okay. As if my spending money on groceries, monthly contribution, and paying the entire family's phone bill isn't gift enough. Lol, fuck that. I'm over Nicolette and her bullshit. This is why she's still single and can't seem to find anyone else to bother other than my sister. She thinks she can take my place and paste herself into the family picture. Yeah right. Maybe I'll just ignore her from now on. Let me block her on Instagram too while I'm at it since she keeps creeping and reporting what I post on their to my sister. 

               People who act like they're so high and mighty and think they're genuinely altruistic make me sick. If she were genuinely nice, she would practice what she preached and shut her piehole. UGH.

Summer 2019 Entry #1

            Once again, the weekend has flown by in the blink of an eye, and never fails to boggle my mind. I'm kind of sad it's come to a quick end because I feel as if not a lot of exciting things have happened yet. I wish it would slow down a bit so I can enjoy it to the fullest.

             Today, my classmates from A & P II (minus one of them) and I went to brunch around 1 P.M. I must say the restaurant had a nice aesthetic to it; the kind that makes you feel at home and cozy inside. Though the only con about the place was the small amount of room that it has to accommodate people. The food was pretty good and is just like all the other diners' foods. The most unique thing they did have was the avocado toast, topped by arugula and olive oil; it was healthy and had a bland, but pleasant texture, complemented by the naturally sweet avocado.

              Speaking of one of our classmates that decided they couldn't come at the last minute because their feet were hurting from their cousin's engagement part and my two other friends K (long brown hair) and Elsie (the one with the nose ring) were pretty disappointed at her last minute flaking. When we all were finally at our respective homes, K messaged the one that flaked and told her she thought that her feet were "hurting," because she saw a picture of her in a car on her way to some other place than her house. That was some shade-throwing man! It was surprising too since K is usually a sweetheart and rarely ever gets mad 

               After we went to brunch, we decided to check out the newly opened shopping outlet located by the Ferry. My friend K bought a couple of lounge wear while I opted for a striped matching set from American Eagle, which was quite a nice bargain since there was a 70% discount of its original price. I'm actually happy with my purchase. Thank God for outlets!

              On another note, I think I made my friend mad because I kept teasing her about her drunken shenanigans from last night. For some reason I feel guilty because she stopped responding all of a sudden after I returned the favor for her "I love you," and said it back teasingly saying, "Also, I'll return the favor. I LOVE YOU TOO. I HOPE YOU'RE CRINGING LOLOL." I've been dwelling on it for almost an hour now and I followed it up with a "You're probably mad right now, so I take it back. Sorry." I've asked other friends for their input and they said to back off for two days. So I guess that's what I'll do. On second thought, she just responded and I think she's still recuperating, or the fact that I said, "I love you too," got her shook. Welp. Guess I'll let the hungover girl be. 

             One more thing to add, I will be doing a 16-hour shift tomorrow because I need the extra money for bills and other luxury items. God, if you can hear me; please let me have a nice, uneventful shift tomorrow. Please let me have the strength and patience for the patients and adversities that I might have to deal with tomorrow. Moreover, may my monthly sickness not cause me too much pain. AMEN.
