I stayed late last night to finish all the projects I had for work. I didn't want to ask for more work today, even though I'm bored cause I wouldn't be able to finish it cause I'll be gone to MN tomorrow!!
Why MN? It's my Aunt's 70th birthday party celebration along with her anniversary with Uncle. She is my mom's oldest sibling too. My mom is the youngest sibling in her Nickihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17535320732377404085noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154339723605589880.post-17660950027047359552013-03-17T17:42:00.000-04:002013-03-18T14:29:13.602-04:00Since I haven't blogged, here goes
It's mid March of 2013 and I haven't been blogging much, I still tweet randomly and check my FB from time to time. Busy season hits me at work and I've been overwhelmed with a lot of work but it's been great overall. I work with wonderful people.
I've decided to take a look at my life and decided what I want to focus on because life is too short and we don't have enough time to do everything Nickihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17535320732377404085noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154339723605589880.post-29820843679323777282012-10-17T21:37:00.001-04:002012-10-17T21:41:46.585-04:00I'm back????Wow, I started this blog back in May 2012 and never came back to update!!!!

I have nothing exciting going on with life.
However, I have been very stressed out in the past few month. $$$$
It's all about the Benjamin's. Seriously.
If Love makes the world go round, I would be so much richer and not have to stress about $$$
Right now, I am working two jobs again. Oh well, gotta do what I gotta do.
No time for movies, only on weekends.

That question comes up a lot. Especially for me. Everyone defines happiness differently. Whether or not, you may seem to agree. Some people get happiness just by making others smile. While others want more materialistic things to be happy.
For me, happiness is being carefree. With all that, I want to be stressfree with money. I love everything about my life, except for the financial Nickihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17535320732377404085noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154339723605589880.post-19993826984000516282011-07-20T09:54:00.000-04:002011-07-20T09:54:30.652-04:00Stupid racist comments about Japan taking USA in Women World Cup

I got a chance to see NKOTBSB last night! Definitely was one of a lifetime experience. It was such an awesome show!
I've been talking about it since last year but with low funds, I never bought a ticket.
Tuesday night, one of my girl friends called to see if I wanted to go with her. Heck yeah!!!!! It was a gift so I obviously couldn't say no ;P

I turned in my two-weeks notice in at my part time job last Friday. I cannot wait to finally leave. I freaking haaaaate retail. I will never do that again. Customers are rude. Managers expect too much.
If I find another part time job that is reasonable, I will take it.
Honestly, I thought that working retail would be fun and brainless but the expectations are too high.

It is no secret that I am in love with Quest Crew. They are the best dance crew. Ever. Period.
I found an old post where I confessed I had a dream of them two years ago, lol
I have been really obsess with them (again) lately. Blame it on their recent appearance on ABDC 6 finale cause they are just that good. I loved them so much with D-Trix but even without him, they are still the best.

I only use Land of Lake for all my desserts if making it at home.
I realized I haven't made homemade cookies from scratch in a while so decided to do it today.
The green choco chip is made with pandan paste to give it a unique look and taste :D
