in Days in her World
I am actually enjoying my job at the electronics store. Sure, I'm on my feet all the time, except when I'm on my 30 minute break, but still. Manning the cash register is new and still interesting. Only downside is, we don't get discounts on laptops. Booo! Then again, that's probably a sign. I was planning to buy a Mac, Vista is making me give up on Windows. I might just give Windows 7 a chance...it's cheaper than buy a Mac.
My department store job on the other hand is a bit boring. I'm in the linen department and well, I never gave linen much thought. As long as there are sheets covering the bed, pillowcases covering the pillows and warm blankets then you're good to go...so I thought. Now, I have to know about threadcounts and different cloths. For now, I don't want to bombard my brain with all these facts. My gameplan is to just learn about them as I go along. That's a pretty good gameplan. Well thought out eh?
I'm starting to save money for my plane ticket back home. My dad conceded in letting me go home, we're getting along fine now because of that. Actually, I don't think it was a matter of conceding maybe it was just a matter of letting him now my reasons. I hope he doesn't change his mind, he did say that he know my life is in the Philippines. Thank you for realizing and supporting that dad.
So I'm just typing whatever is running through my head. Speaking English used to be awkward for me eversince I started living in the Philippines. I got so used to speaking in Filipino and speaking English was unncessary, except for my last job that is. I've always thought it was so hard to make someone laugh when I lets say, joke in English but now it became second nature to me again. Funny thought, I couldn't speak tagalog to save my life when I first got to the Philippines.
I took some random pictures and there's no point posting them on Facebook or Multiply due to the randomness. So, I'll just post them here.
So this is a building. Nothing special. It just looks nice in black and white.
Mom at the bus stop where we take the #8 bus going to downtown Vancouver.
*sigh* Now if only this station connects to the Gilmore station on the LRT 2 line. I'll be a few hops away from home.
Yummy pizza. It's basically ham and mushrooms.
I wonder how this jacket got up there. This was taken about 3 weeks ago and it's still there to this day.
This just happened this morning. I have always hated using a manual umbrella. The one you use your hands to push the umbrella up to open. So there I was opening my umbrella when my finger got caught when the umbrella locked in place. It bled and I was too scared to look at it. I had my mom clean it up and put a bandaid because it was way too early in the morning to see blood and a deep cut. This picture doesn't show just how deep the cut is and it's not even bloody because my finger is all pruney from wearing a bandaid all day. This serves as a remembrance. I gave up on using manual umbrellas once and I am giving up on using it again.
