Bleh

Current Mood:

I have this horrible soar throat right now and Im slowly getting sick. Im not sure where it came from but I want it to go away now. I have to attend this birthday party this Saturday and if I’m sick, I will have the most horrible time. :headache: I bought 2 outfits which I know will not match with the whole motif of the birthday. I cant do much I guess since it wasnt easy looking for a dress to match with the motif (motif is gold). I cant return the outfits so yeah at least I can wear it for other occasions. :smile:

Speaking of work, next week I have a schedule for work but not baseball. Soccer. Im an usher for this soccer game thats going to be held in Rogers Center. The thing which sucks is the pay. $8 per hour instead of my regular wage $10 per hour. At least there’s more hours though. The teams are Italy vs Serbia and Montenegro. Granted there will be cute guys around there. :sly:

This sucks

Current Mood:

Argh. :banghead: Somebody shoot me whenever I do impulse shopping for something computer-related items. I have this dvd burner that I purchased a few months back and it wont play dvds that are made outside North America. I also tried to burn a movie on a dvd+rw cd and it wont even work on the dvd player. :pissed: Stupid thing. Then I bought a dvd+r 8x cd and it turns out I cant use that cd since the burner is 4x and I need a thing called “firmware”. So I searched and it turns out my burner isnt region free meaning it wont play dvds outside North America. So I have to download a firmware for my dvd burner to make it region free and after much long search, there isnt one! :mad: I am an idiot. Thats what I get for doing impulse shopping. I can burn dvds but the only way to watch them is if I play it on my PC not the dvd player. I can still watch dvds that are made in North America. That so sucks. I hate it. I wont be able to buy another dvd burner for like another few years because I have to save $ for school this Sept. I just hope that dvd burners get real cheap like less than $100 by next year. :irked: Right now I can only burn cds properly. bleh.

Last night was my night!

Current Mood:

I wouldve blogged this last night but I was real tired from work so here I am retelling the story in here. Last night I went to work but not for a baseball game but for a soccer game. It was Italy vs Serbia and Montenegro in Rogers Center. I signed up since they needed more ushers for the game since soccer fans are more crazier than baseball fans. Indeed they were right. But I came there as a security since they had alot of ushers already. So the plan was me a security in 100 level. But there was too many securities in 100 so they had 7 extra people there and I was one of them. So they sent the 5 of us in 00 level that is the field level where you walk on the field and what not. I got to walk on the soccer field, the same field they use for baseball games except for one main difference. The grass was real. In baseball games, the grass is fake. So I was pretty lucky since I got to walk for the first time on the field with real grass on a soccer event. When we were walking, all the other ushers were so jealous of us! lol :sly: Suckers! My supervisor was walking with us trying to find for us a spot to be in. Then finally he ended up putting me in the spot behind the stage where the Serbian rock band is planning on playing during half time and behind the goal post and the photographers. My job as a security is to make sure that only people with a field pass and green bracelets get in the area. That was pretty easy since most of them were cooperating. :grin: Yeah all the other ushes were so jealous of me since I got to do that. Haha. I even got to kick the ball when it was out of bounds. ;P Haha Im such a loser then apparently when the band was playing, they showed me on the jumbotron (that big screen) but I didnt even know it until after the game. The only thing I didnt like is the fact that the guy in charge of the breaks forgot to tell me to go to my break. I will have to talk to him on Monday and maybe give him a little yelling or 2. Grr…

The day was weird

Current Mood:

I havent blogged in a while. Thats because nothing much is going on with my so-called social life and what not. Anyway today was again one of those weird days at work. The gossip going around has been a little crazy. The rumor is that one of the ushers slept with 2 baseball players: 1 from Tampa Bay & 1 from Boston Red Sox. For baseball fans out there, sorry but I dont know which ones. We finally found out who it was though and we were surprised since she doesnt look like the type. She doesnt look like the groupie type, I mean. :???: My coworker really wanted to ask her if she did that but she didnt. I just feel bad for her since gossips spread like fire at work. Nobody can keep their mouth shut even me. I’m blabbing it in here already. :slant:

So yeah, I think I’m going to hell. These fans were talking to me about God and the life after death. They were hardcore Christians who preach people about God. They were asking me whether I’m ready about the judgement day and how everybody will be judged after they die. :hot: One of them were saying how even though a person hasnt physically killed a person, if they thought of some hate towards their brothers or sisters, thats just like killing their heart. Anyway I told them that I do believe in God and that I’m Catholic and went to an all girls highschool but I dont have the time to worry about the future. They ask why and all I said is how can I think about the future when I cant even handle the present? They really made me uncomfortable just standing their listening to them. One of them told me to read the bible- the book of James to be exact. :look: I dont know. I probably might go to hell now since I shrugged them off.

The Messengers

Current Mood:

When I was a teenager back when ICQ was popular, I use to chat with any random stranger from different parts of the world. Most of those people I dont talk to anymore because we lost touch. Things like that happen. There’s probably only 1 person who I still talk to in ICQ but we’ve involved into MSN Messenger. Anyway, tonight was the first time in a real long time that some stranger started talking to me in MSN. Like I said, I used to go to chatrooms and chat whenever I get bored. But tonight some guy just talked to me and he doesnt even know how he got my email. Normally I would be like ‘hey how are you?’ etc all happy and shit. But I dont know this time, it was different. I didnt feel like talking to him. We exchanged pics and all. He lived in the area. It just didnt work out. Finding decent people to talk to online is like a rare thing to find. After asking for their “asl” they start talking about sex. Like really? Do people my age run out of things to discuss on these messenger things? Someone told me that the internet is like 7% of communication. The 93% goes to phones, letters and actual conversations with real people. If you want sex on the internet, dont talk to me about it. There are certain websites for things like that. :sowhat:
