just one of those days!

my bday is in 3 days. omg, i will be 27 years old. i am getting old, but i still look young. anyways, how is my life going this week? im work 6 days straight and im ok with that because i need the hours. i just wished that i work a full shift at the spa but its not going to happen. so for 1.5 hours im eating my lunch and going shopping. i wish that i didn't do that, but i am tempted. well i haven't drank coffee or eat any burgers since feb.25. i gave it up for lent and im doing great. i do get tempted because i need the caffeine in the morning while i work. especially on fridays because i wake up by 630. anyways, today i served 5 guests and i actually had to unclog a toilet. she just clogged it with tissue from blowing her nose. thank god. also we got paid and i got more than i expected. when i got home, i had to pay bills. i can't believe how i am just living off pay to pay. i just take home like 1600-1800 a month which is not enough. one thing i am looking forward to is moving into our new place. we get the keys on my bday. im also getting a tattoo to cover up my scars from my pregnancy. im going to be stressed out for the whole month of april because of the move, working 6 days plus i have to get a consolidation loan. my cc payments are ridiculous. i can't believe im all maxed out plus on my 3 cc. i need to find a way to pay it off. im still late on my carmax for 2 months. thank god my mom is lending me money. its almost 1230. im going to sleep after chelsea lately so i can wake up and eat breakfast/lunch. so next week ill be working night shift which means i will be getting less hours but i need to so i can have daylight to move our stuffs.

Thats all for now. Time for bed.

i just want to move out of this apt!!!!!!!

well today is my only dayoff, so we went out to the outlet center and since im broke i can't buy anything. jan just bought angel new nike shoes and nike slippers. i may just go back there when i do have money. i just have enough money for gas and angel's milk until friday. im so glad that mirage called me back to work again because i need the hours since now i'll be working 20 hours a week at the spa. im so exhausted working 6 days but i feel like i need find another part time or maybe a full time. if anything, im just going to work at the spa the less days because if i find something that pays more why should i work more at the spa. i like working at the spa but sometimes the time drags and i really don't like to see or talk to that damn biatch. oh well, we had our team meeting on saturday and there's definitely changes. you know what, like our lead says, just do your job and keep busy. alot of things were mentioned about the laundry area. which i rarely work at. anyways, i hope that i can get another job. just to keep my life busy, pay off bills, and buy things for me and angel. so today i did some light packing of our stuffs by putting things in plastic bags so when its time to move, it'll be easier. anyways, its 10 pm. angel is finally sleeping. she fell off the couch and hit a part of her head on the side and im not sure if her arm got hurt too. it was because she was standing on the edge and i didn't catch her on time. i just hope her arm is fine. anyways, im so exhausted and i will be for awhile because we're moving out next week, plus we have to clean this place up. anyways, that's all for now.

im exhausted.

so im working 6 days a week again and im happy about that because i need the hours but at the same time im so tired. i just want at least 1 day of the week for jan to completely take care of angel, but that never will happen. i dont have as much energy anymore because i cut out coffee for lent and i keep forgetting to take my vitamins. my only caffeine fix is soda and cookies. i have to wake up in 6 1/2 hours so i should be sleeping now. im making my breakfast spam musubi so i do not have to take a lunch break. i guess im going shopping for my uniform colors because having one pants is not good. but i can't go shopping until next week because ive been spending money on unnecassary stuffs like makeup. 11 days from now it'll be my bday and also getting the keys to our new place.

2 more weeks till we get the keys to our new place

on my birthday which is 2 weeks from now, we are moving into our new place. a bigger place. i wish i could say our own house but just a temporary townhouse for a year. anyways, im so happy we are finally moving out of here and especially moving into a bigger place. a place we can go home to and have more space. although i still have to park my car outside. so im hoping when we move out into a new house, id like a 3 car garage with at least 4 br. i want a room for my office. mainly this year im going to focus on making more income so we can get a house. i just want the kitchen to look like a kitchen and the living room to be a living room and my own closet and bath because i can't share with jan. he's having his own room with all his things that i don't want anywhere in the living room. the good thing about moving here is that its cheaper and bigger and most of all we dont live in the same place as them.
as far as my relationship goes, im just focused on work and what i need to do to make angel go to daycare and finally have my dream house. im so glad i am working 2 jobs cuz i need it.

i love my parents.

ive been in vegas for over 2 years now and it's been a rollercoaster ride. sometimes i make decisions with my head which usually are not good and my heart which is usually the right way. i'm still not at the point where i want to be. i want a job that's full time with benefits but im not but at least its the industry i want to be in. i told myself that i would have 2 jobs and i do and i'm so happy about that. i do need it. in 2 weeks we are finally out of this place. we're moving into a bigger place that we pay less for and not in the same area as them. anyways, thank you jesus for the many blessings you have given me each day of my life. i talked to my mom and they were celebrating her 47th bday with the family and of course, i miss those events because we're here in vegas. i asked her to help me out with some of my finances and she's going to and im so thankful for my parents. i love and miss them alot especially now that we don't see each other. anyways, its 1215 and i need to sleep because i have work tomorrow. ive got so much to do. i need to keep track of things. im so stressed out but ive been good about my lent sacrifices. it's hard but im actually doing it. im also taking vitamins now. i should take it everyday but i forget sometimes. i so need to check my calendar. because of my stress, i've been spending so much money on makeup again. i think i should have given that up for lent. well thats all for now.

on my way into the beauty business...

so i've always loved fashion and beauty. since i've always wanted to be working in a salon or spa i'm finally am and have been for 3 months. anyways, i've been thinking of what part of the beauty business i wanted to be doing in the salon and spa. i love makeup and so i wanted to become an esthetician but then i compared it to the massage therapist and i decided i want to take massage therapy. hopefully next year i can go and get my massage license. the thing about esthetician is that you will have use only the products at the spa and what if the products dont work well on the guest. there's so much steps to do as opposed to a massage therapist. the good thing about massage therapist is that you can do it pretty much anywhere and get paid more and you'll be healing someone. that's what i want to do. the makeup artist i just want to do as hobby part time. anyways, that's what i'd like to do in the next few years. i do hope to have my business license and finally have my dresses made for my first clothing collection. well its 1 am and i need to get some zzz. btw, i making an investment on buying a professional makeup case and brush belt. i can finally work on my makeup art skills.

i wish i had it my way

anyways, my life here in sin city is definitely different than maui for sure. if it were'nt for the cost of living, i'd live in california, but vegas was my next stop. i just wanted to live closer to home. well i've been here for 2 years and almost 2 months and so far its been ok. the greatest thing that happened here is my lil angel. as of right now, im just working part time and making less than i ever was in maui. the best thing about my job is that i've always wanted to work in a spa/salon and now i am. the economy is getting worse and im just living my life. i can't believe that i allowed myself to be in this financial crisis, but i am. i feel like i don't care about my debts. i just keep on buying things i want and need and just not pay towards my debts. i do need to figure out something soon though because my goal is to move into a house next summer. my very own house. i am looking forward to moving out of this place in 3 weeks to a bigger place. i am excited to interior design our new place. i can now have it my way when it comes to decorating the new place. i will have my own room, closet, bathroom. the only things i don't like is having to park on the side street and that the inlaws can walk over to our place. but thank god, i don't have to see them as much as i do. i just wish i could make enough income to have angel in daycare and everything will be ok. my next goal also is to get my business license so i can buy wholesale and resell beauty & fashion products. i need to get myself out of this financial stress. anyways, it's late, im tired and i need to get some sleep.

What a stressful day!

so i woke up early because i had to make some calls and check out the places that we are planning to move in on April. i woke up around 930 so i had enough sleep. anyways, we ate breakfast and we headed out to twain/ft.apache but the price and the place was not really what i wanted. so i went back to the other one right across our place and it was better because it was all the way at the other end close to the playground and pool. my goal was to move far away from the inlaws. but now they can just walk across. at least we dont live in the same area and of course in a bigger place. now we can have guests over. my ultimate dream is to move into our own house by next year when this lease is over. thanks to my parents and the tax return we can move out of this place. finally! anyways, i still need to go and find another way for extra income. i need to find it by the end of this month. well anyways, i hope everything will be better with this move. that's all for now.

finally! i'm getting an IPHONE

im glad it's friday because i got paid. i paid the bills and finally ordered my Apple Iphone. i wanted the white 16G but im broke so i got the 8G instead. this is the only phone i've ever wanted and soon i will have it. im excited to get it in the next few days. anyways, it was a busy day at the spa. i did have a miscommunication at the end. i sent the 2 ladies to the wrong room. they were supposed to go to the VIP room instead of the relaxation room. they were cool about it though. i just hope they still had a great experience. well it's 10 min till Chelsea Lately. i have to watch her show. im thinking of reading her books. anyways, i wanted to go to town square and go take angel to the park, check out a few stores and get my eye/lip wax at my job, but that will be next week because i dont want to go if he is not for sure on what time his car will be fixed up. anyways, i will just clean and organize our apt. i had so much on my mind with what we should do about the whole living situation. i want to move out into a bigger place since our lease expires next month but i felt like i need to get an extra job just to be able to have some extra cash. i hope to find one soon. nowadays you just have to always look for other things to be ok with that part of life. i just never ever thought my life would be this way, but it is what it is and you just gotta move forward.

What I'm giving up for Lent 2009

Lent begins on Wed. Feb 25, 2009. I was planning to give up soda and fast food but that's really hard, so I decided to give up coffee, burgers and fries. I know I can do that for sure and I'll be able to save money too hopefully. I should have given up buying makeup but I just did at Ulta. I was doing so well because I haven't bought any makeup since early January, but with the MAC Hello Kitty out in stores, I definitely want to go pick up some. I really want the makeup bag but the larger one is sold out and online its way too much, so I'm just going to get the petite one for $22 and maybe the lipstick $14. anyways, I finally sold my LG cu500 phone and I can finally get the Apple Iphone that I've been wanting since it came out. I'm planning to get it this weekend.
other events in my life:
I have this job at the spa/salon and thought it was going to be full time but they overhired and so everyone is getting about the same hours and now I have to find another way to get the extra income.
our lease is up on my birthday and we can't move out because of the way things are on our jobs.
at work, there are 2 of my coworkers that i dont want to work with. the other i don't work with at all. however, the old mexican lady i have to work with sometime but im so glad i am not working her job. anyways, i have decided not to go out and party for my bday this year like i wanted because of her. so i'm just going to splurge on myself. i told the hubby i want a tattoo so im getting that for sure. im still thinking of the design. there are a few things i want but they cost too much and with this economy i don't know if that would be a good idea.
i've never ever been this way about my personal life but im just livin life because you only got one life to live.

anywas, its time to go to bed. another day at the spa.

contemplate

i never realized until today of how unfair our landlord have treated us. its been over 4 months and tomorrow that bitch will have to look for parking just like the rest of us. thanks to him for saying it out loud. anyways, ive been wanting to move out of this place for a long time. our lease is finally coming to an end and so its time to get outta of this place. if only i didn't have to see people that live around here. i don't want to mention any names but if you knew, you know who im talking about. im going to cut this short because i want to sleep. ive got so much on mind. i just want to forget about all the stress and have a good night sleep cuz ive never had those in such a long time.

i finally found the vintage ring i've been wanting

i was never really into fashion rings because i prefer authentic ones. well since i finally made up of my mind on what type of career i wanted which is fashion designer/store owner, i've decided to accessorize my wardrobe. i spotted this vintage ring i saw on someone's hand at work and i've been searching everywhere for it. i finally found it today and it happens to be one of my favorite designer Marc Jacobs. i found it on ebay so i will be getting it soon. it'll be my 2/14 gift for me. even though i don't need it, i am going to get it. its something i will use mostly everyday like i do with my wedding band. its like 138 am and i should be sleeping because ive got work tomorrow. but i work later in the morning. i am happy ill be working at the spa because its just a different setting and i enjoy the company of the people i work with. i definitely see myself long term with Eleven for as long as i am here on vegas.

also we got free show tickets to the Terry Fator show at the Mirage so I'll be going with my date i hope it'll be good.we can celebrate our 2/14 day on that day instead. well so far at our spa training, i've got 2 mani's, a facial and a deep tissue massage. all i can say is that with the massage i felt so tired for 3 days and i was irritated. it felt great to release all the tension and the toxins from my body. anyways, thats all for now. i need to get my beauty sleep.
