NEVER EVER EVER

so its been awhile since i have blogged..and what happened to me today..or yesterday i should say..is worth blogging..or is it?? haha

BE PREPARED..ITS LONG

well here it goes anyways..saturday..june 27th, 2009

i worked alot this week..more than usual and its because we had alot of floor sets to do..and for me alot of folding clothes and backstocking them..well saturdays i usually don't work but i had a call in..so thats like a maybe i will work if they call me..so i decided to go to the beach with some of my friends..because i havent gone in awhile and i thought it would be nice to hang out with them...

i wake up..work out..i get a message on AIM..asking if i was going to the beach..i said yes..and one of them told me..arite newport at 2pm..so thinking that i'm going to newport..i go to the grocery market..i get a phone call from working..and my manager tells me i am working from 6-10pm..so i calculated my time at the beach..i planned to stay there 2 hours then wash up there..and go straight to work from there..i call my friend who said he will carpool and drive..He doesnt answer his phone..i call the other guy thats with him..and he doesnt answer his phone either..soo i'm like screw this..

so i'm at the grocery market still..grab some grapefruit and some tea..i call the guys again..no answer..so i go home..and there they are playing basketball on my neighbors basketball hoop..and they didnt ask..i thought we had to ask..cuz i just find it a lil rude to play on someone else's hoop without asking..ANYWAYS..i get home and tell them that i work and i have to drive seperately...still thinking that i am going to newport..so they leave..i pack some stuff..i pack my work clothes..and all..and i head to newport...

so i get a text from my other friend who is already at the beach..and he said LAGUNA at 2pm..i'm like WTF!! so i turn around on the freeway..BUT there's only 1 freeway i can take..and thats the 73...which is also a toll road only freeway..so luckily i had change..and enough change too..or else i would have to pay the fine which was like 50 dollars..so thats about 2 bucks right there..so i'm already pissed off..

so i'm already late..its 230..i finally get the beach..i was really lucky on parking..got to the lot right when someone was leaving..BUT it was meter only..knowing that..i had 30 min that the other person left..so i went to the first gas station asking if they do cash back if i buy something..answer was NO..so i go to another gas station and they do cash back but charges 1.50 fee..so i'm like i need change..so i did it..i ask for a dollar in quarters..and he gave them to me..i ask if i could have another dollar in quarters..he said no..so i just said watevers and was on my way to the car..i go to the ice cream shop and they gave me quarters..i go to my car..put in 2 dollars..and that gave me like about 2 hours..i go to the beach call my friends to see where theyre at..THEY DON'T PICK UP THEIR PHONES!! i called them like 3 times each and theres like 4 of them..NONE OF THEM ANSWER THEIR PHONES..so i'm just standing there..and telling myself if they dont answer within the next 15 min..i'm gone..luckily i had James there to keep me company..well he was on his way too..so i was talking to him while waiting..literally after 30 minutes..someone calls me back..i finally find them..

so here i am sitting down..telling them why dont they pick up their phones..and all that..pissed off but i dont want to ruin the mood and show it..but they knew i wasnt having the greatest day..THEN i get a call from work...asking if i can come in an hour early..so i literally sat down for like 10-15 min..ate a sandwich and i get a call.so of course i said yes...because its work..aka money..so after sitting for like 15 min..i had to leave...

on my way back..i'm speeding because i need to make it by 5..and i had like about a good 45 min..i got to work early..BUT when i got to the parking lot..i realized my work clothes wasnt in my trunk..which means i left it at home..i had 20 min til by shift started..so i speed back home..but thankfully my managers gave me til 530..so i went home..changed and sped back and made it by 515..and started to work til 10..

by that time..i wanted to punch someone in the face..and i already know who i want to punch..haha..

but work made it a lil better because i love my co workers..they are chill..and we have fun while working..but sadly the manager that i was working with is leaving us and going to Hollister at the Garden Walk..but i am going to work with her on July 4th..party time at the moose! haha that is her last day with us..sad..

i get home..and james and my brother are playing games..we decided to go play ping pong this time..so its now 2am..what a day..

i still gotta shower..which imma go do right now..so never ever ever atttend an outing that is unorganized..seriously..this is the second time..why do i even go?? this was like seriously an FML moment..but i should stop saying FML..because i am thankful for my life.

arite..shower and then relax/sleep..PEACE!

Nashville, TN=where the party is at

so when i told my friends that i was going to Nashville, TN they were like WTH?!?!?! why are you going to nashville..and my answer was..TO PARTAY!! hahaa it was true..but not that kind of party exactly..haha

so i got invited to Carrie Underwood's annual Fanclub Party. this is what i've always been waiting for..to party with Carrie Underwood..haha..so i get all my flight stuff situated..and as the day gets closer..i get excited and nervous at the same time because i'm traveling alone. my trip was from June 8th-11th. i landed in Nashville and was amazed at how green it was..it was pretty.

i get to my hotel..drop off my stuff and then camp out in front of the place the party is held at..its cool because like its a private party and only a certain amount of people get picked..and i was happy to be one of them :)

so as i am waiting outside..it wasnt cold at all...more like warm and humid..i remember walking out of my hotel with a jacket on and as i stepped out..i went back in because it was wayy to hot at like 2am in the morning..haha

camping out was fun. met some new people..got to chit chat with them..the party didnt start until like 11am..waiting for like 9hrs was totally worth it..once we got into the place..i was second row from the stage..AWESOME

never been so close to carrie..EVER!haha it was awesome. at the party she sang a number of songs..all the songs we voted on were like big songs..like big range songs..and so she brought out the lyrics cuz some songs were according to Carrie "Blast from the Past" songs. it was awesome. her voice is amazing. what an inspiration she is :)

after the small "concert" she gave to us..she answered some questions..and then we played a game with her..the game is 12 fans come up and compete against each other. two go at a time. and Carrie will sing either songs from her CDs or cover songs..and she can sing wherever she wants in the song..and she'll stop and the first person to ring their bell and sing the rest of the song..goes to the next round..sadly i only got to like the top 5..but you still go home with a gift..i got some merchandise..its cool..first place girl got 2 plane tickets to Carrie's Next show. second place girl got an ipod touch. carrie is so awesome.

after the game. just announcements and we headed off back to our places..the party was great. got a free shirt on the way out. took pictures..ya gotta check my facebook for that..only posted up a few out of the many i took.

after the party just chilled at the mall before the concert that same night..it was a night full of carrie underwood :) before the actual show there was a small show outside of the place and they were twin sisters. they were awesome. i got to meet them..and they were so nice. the actual Opry show was amazing..it made me realize how awesome country music is. carrie underwood the show with a finale set ;)

then it was rest time before the softball game the next day. softball game was awesome. its nice to see country artist just have fun with each other but at the same time help a good cause. i finally got the chance to "meet" carrie underwood..i didnt get a chance to take a picture because she was so busy. but she did sign my tshirt. my trip to nashville was awesome.

the plane ride back wasnt. delayed for 17 hrs..not fun. but i would so go to nashville again if i had the chance..its the home of country music..gotta love it :) i would so live there if i could..haha

that is the highlight of my vacation. now its back home..working on music. hopefully it will be liked by people. now i'm thinking about country music..if its possible :) gotta stick to country if i can :)

i'll post up one pic for each event.

Hawaii 09

so i was asked by one of my friends to go to hawaii with them. since i havent been on a vacation for awhile. i agreed to. it was also a way to get away from everything and just look at the beautiful places God has created. so from May 31-June 4th. was my trip to hawaii.

it was better than the first time i went there because we got to do our own thing. we had 4 full days to do whatever we wanted. we pretty much had our activities all planned out. at the end of each day i was pretty dead tired. we did activities like hiking, swimming/jumping off rocks, eat, eat, eat...haha..

we also did get a flat tire..hawaiian people are so friendly. a guy offered to help and also lead us to a used tired place and they fixed it for us. what nice people.

i also did swim from the beach to this island in the middle of the beach. i was the only one out of my group to do it. it was harder than i thought..or more tiring than i thought because i was fighting against the current while swimming. swimming back was faster than going there..but still tiring..haha

we came back home at like 5am in the morning..went home and just took a nap before watchin the basketball game with my friends..it was a long day..

then i was home for the weekend and then had to pack again for Nashville, TN!!!!

hawaii was awesome..there were pros and cons to it..but it was good to get a vacation. God has created a beautiful place :)

now my blog about Nashville, TN is next :)
