I am the antique trinket sitting on the shelf in a pawn shop, another year older...
This is gonna be a long one. Well it's been a while and I've just been doing this and that and not really in the mood for blogging. I did decide to start a pen journal again, for those deeper more private thoughts...otherwise known as private bitch sessions, he he he.
So today, I hit the quarter-life...and I woke up sore. Thus far, it's been a normal day, with the occasional phone call here and there or e-mail, from my awesome awesome friends...thanks. V just came back from the Philippines and decided to crash the night...he brought us some trumpo's from there and we spent about an hour outside just playing with them. Then, we hit up Jack in the Box last night right around midnight cuz I hadn't eaten all day since lunch and I worked out AND played ball. I fell asleep while they were playing Madden and moved upstairs at around 5 this morning, to see that I had just washed all my sheets and pillowcases and stuff, so I had to totally set up my bed before I could crash. So needless to say, I was quite exhausted, which contributed to my extreme soreness today, I guess. Everytime I was about to fall into deeper sleep, someone would call(I'm not mad) and I would be wide a wake again...this happened like 5 times...but oh well, I was more glad to hear from friends than sleep. So today, it seems as though it will be a normal run of the mill day. I'm gonna have lunch w/ a few buddies, and then run some errands..oil change, bills, etc. then Dinner and bowling tonight...as usual. So we'll see what the heavens have in store for me for the rest of the day.
Anyway, a couple things since my last blog I guess. First of all, the job search has been somewhat productive. one interview yesterday w/ an awesome company. I really liked that place...fairly large company based in the UK, so were I to get the position, I would be taking a good amount of trips overseas to the UK headquarters...I don't wanna be too excited about it, but I can't help it. Nonetheless, it would be an extremely awesome opportunity. Thus, my fingers are crossed tighter than my old bowling shoes...
This past weekend, I was helping out at a retreat, and well, I thought it would be an opportune time to pray for a little clarity in my life...and guess what, I got it. I finally saw that the way that the latest events in my life, my layoff, my cousins not getting granted US visas and thus not being able to come here to stay w/ pop, and my lease about to end...these events are all pointing to the fact that I need to go back home, at least for a while. And if I get this torrance job, then that would seal the deal. Prior to this, I couldn't figure out if these were signs or if I was supposed to fight all the adversities happening to me so that I should stay in irvine, get a job here, etc. But then I realized that there are not really any coincidences, there is a reason for things that happen...and think really found some clarity in that this weekend. So by March 1st, I shall be an LA resident again, at least for the meantime. :)
Mini-thoughts
I was looking at the yahoo sports page the other day, and it was changed...I don't like it. Why change something that was already good? I guess that's one sign of getting older, not being so adaptive to change. he he he, but seriously, I've taken a poll and a lot of people don't really like it...so I'm not alone, therefore this is not of I'm getting old type of things.
You know that most people do not know how to give a firm handshake...rather than placing the pressure between the thum and forefinger area, people try to squeeze the crap out of your appendages. Good, firm handshakes are not supposed to hurt. Goodness...that should be like a class in school, handshakes 101...that would be cool!
