mayhem

I'm officially part of the hustle. I spent the past two days on location selling jewelry.

Sushie picked me up so I could help load up her car. After watching Tila for an hour, I could not sleep on her tempurpedic pillow for the life of me. On top of that I kept getting chills or shivers or jitters running up my arms. I couldn't tell if it was excitement or nerves but it was bugging me until 2:30 or 3 in the morning. 4am and the alarm went off. We were a wreck at Safeway. (not a fan of mornings) Sushie wanted cash back which didn't happen because none of the 5 of us (3 cashiers) could add that early in the morning, the final amount was more than allowed, and a manager happened to walk by and notice, so after overrides and 3 torn checks, I paid in cash. Funny that the cashiers were all tattoos and slick hair. They gave us what's-your-deal looks but warmed up towards the end. (It's our charm :P)

5:11 and we hit the road, jack. made pretty good time to Kaiser Fairfield and the tingles persisted so I couldn't nap. 7am we set up shop and wait wait wait. and finally get customer number one and wait some more. hahah I guess 7am is too early for consumerism especially if you're trying to be on time (opens at 8am). The rest of the day was smooth operating. Lots of positive feedback! :] We sprawled out on the lawn and under the tables (my office) taking naps. haha oh so professional. It was fun to see the look on faces when I pop out. The nice thing about it was people were more amused by the irregularity of it than anything else. They had jokes. The whole day we lived off of 5 bagels and 4 packs of cream cheese, cheetos, and a carton of OJ (who apparently confessed btw)

About 11 or 12 hours later we packed up, donated a percentage to the pharmacy, and ate it up in a buffet. I ate so much to start I didn't even get to the fruit or salad, but of course had ice cream. Sushie said, "I'm not leaving. I'm getting my ten bucks worth!" (A 15 hour day will make you appreciate money). Quick stop at the mall and I actually slept before midnight.

We decided not to stay at that venue for Friday so we went blindly to San Francisco at 6am, and hustled our way into St. Luke's (and out of a sticky situation). Best executive decision ever! We're in with security and networked a few more locales from the lady in charge and customers. The staff and patients were personable and dynamic, all positive. Besides the ticket we got in the morning >:P for improperly reading a sign, it was a fucking fantastic day. started later and ended earlier, with more profit than Fairfield. Then we walked up and down Mission Street deciding where to grub and went into a Chinese/sushi restaurant. Shiso, where our sushi chefs were easy on the eyes and service and food were top notch. Big Lots then Sushie's then home.

dude I was made for this. I'm so glad it's finally coming together. Oh! plus it was our first time/ trial run, sans advertising. I have so much work to do when it comes to marketing and booking. Right now I'm tired. still can't wait for the next time!

the goods

Here's what's up:

Pictures I took of products from Pocket Change (Fashion Jewelry)! I only have the earrings with me right now. The plans are to take some on models too. :] website, banners, venues, more merchandise, packaging, oh so many directions to get ahead of ourselves in. Lucky for us, it's more like play than work.

Oh yeah we booked our first venue for Kaiser Fairfield for May 29 and 30th so we need to book our hotel with Free dinner and wine! mMmm

If you're out there, feel free to share your thoughts!

yumzy

Chinese food leftovers:

The little place was paacked. Memorial day madness.

All of our inventory came last week! Tons and tons of fashion jewelry! enough to lay in and make jewelry angels. We need more bracelets and rings, but so far we have an amazing variety of necklaces and earrings up the ying yang. Sushie and I went to a couple places for fixtures and got a nifty storage bag for the earrings. We were debating whether it was worth spending money pre-profit but I convinced her and we think it's the coolest thing since sliced bread. Everything is at her house but I like it so much I took it home with me!

I booked our first venue in Fairfield. It's less than a week away! exciting! I was taking some sample pictures. Indoor lighting wasn't working too well so I might retake them all with my borrowed fancy pants nikon. or maybe I'll just use the magic of digital editing!

school's out

Tough test. Nonetheless I jumped around the house yelling "I'm done! I'm done!"

Then I thought to myself: self, it's Thursday. Where's my shit?
I ran to the door and sure enough my package was on the other side!



Yay! I love them alllll :]

I went to vivid because ky was DJing. 2 dollar drinks! The crowd was actually good for a Thursday except people kept touching my ass.. I thought it was my friend but she said she only did it once. ?? She ended up yelling at some guy for grabbing hers and got him kicked out. hahah Also took a picture with import model Francine Dee who is a pretty cool girl. Then we went to get our yummy yummy tacos outside of tres. A drunk homeless or maybe not homeless, just dirty man starting talking to my sister while we were sitting on a bench. At first we're all watching in what the hell kind of amusement, except I know my sister was probably annoyed so I decided to intervene by telling him he needs to back up because he's spitting all over the place. He complimented her and kept leaning over her to which we were forced to leave our comfy bench. Meanwhile there's at least 6 cops posting it at their car shooting the fucking breeze. I inadvertently said, "Thank you. I am SO glad my tax dollars are going to work." It wasn't a big deal but I just don't believe in the justice system or chivalry whatsoever. plus most cops suck balls. On that note, adios!

what I do in my free time

wow! klutz times ten

I walked into my practical exam indifferent. not stressed nor confident, but ready and relaxed. I picked a station and started filling out answers no problemo... until I got to about the 8th question and realized I had all my bubbles in the wrong place since I started at station/question 46 or 47 but bubbled in starting from 1. I really didn't want to delay the whole class so I sorted it out myself... at least until I got to the last question with no more space to answer it! aghh!

I had to get a new scantron and take the test again, warp speed. I had ten minutes for a test that originally took an hour. She started cleaning up just around the time I was finishing up the second time around, so I didn't get to double check anything. "Maybe you can just give me the higher score?" :] hahah I think she will because she took both copies.

Jeebies. xP nice way to end a semester

A few of the many goodies we got to play with in anatomy the last 4 months:





Introducing my extraterrestrial friend:


Remind of you anyone? Johnny5

There's a million bajillion things to remember but I "heart" it. Only two more weeks, two more tests. The tease of summer break is making me lazy. :P

Oh! My yoga teacher was being a bitter bitch in the morning. She kept picking on me and calling me out for being late or "noisy" coming in. It's not my fault the heavy doors click when they close and the wooden floors squeak even when I tiptoe. And if people "turn to watch" me, pardon me for having a walk that is apparently amusing? I was going to apologize for being unsuccessful in my attempt to enter quietly but she was singling me out every opportunity she got. She even mentioned it again at the end of class. So fuck her. I'm not sorry. I don't apologize.

Someone as old as her should not be asking for respect while disrespecting me. So take that and stick it up your yogi squat.

Catherine said she's surprised I didn't talk back like I did to my chem teacher. What's up with teachers not liking me this semester? Must be because I undermine their authority, while still getting A's and doing killer poses! :]P

I've eaten myself into a food comatose. fries covered in guacamole, pico di gallo, sour cream and carne asada. yummm. My sleep habits are wrecked. but it's been this way since I was 12 so! there you have it.

Yoga in the morning. I would fall asleep if it weren't for pop tarts.

so I'm naturally a schemer and always try to find fun ways to make money. Sushie and I are going to work on a project soon! She's driven and a workaholic but has energy to boot. This is going to be good!

Money for Japan spending will be the besterest.

In the mean time, these are a few wants:For my love of tigers ever since I read up on the Asian zodiac! (plus I am one) Then there's tallerthanyou heels and boots by my favorite brand! I picked those up brand new in grey for 15bucks once. A steal considering they retail for $105. They're kind of small but for 15dollers shut up. :]

shoot. stayed up later than I intended! adios
