holla holla!

I miss you!! I'm sorry for not updating earlier! Thank you for all the well wishes..everything is going pretty well down here. Just started school this week, good news is that I don't have to buy any books this quarter. Phil got me a free ebook for one class and the other I'm gonna check it out at the library! Phil and I are okay, had a pretty good time celebrating his bday this past week. I believe I told you a little tid bit this past week =) I also celebrated my cousin's bday so I got to see the both of them and that was nice to catch up for a bit. My parents have been really chill ever since I started school, I think they are happy I'm doing something besides just working at bn. Did I tell you my boss quit? Her last day was last friday, I was sooo sad! I didn't think I was THAT sad, but when we were hugging it out at the end of the day I started tearing up. Then she came back a second time to get something and I teared up yet again when she left for the second time! I'm gonna miss that lady! She was sooo nice to me, she even gave me a going away present for her going away.  hahah of course I got her something too, I made those flowers that I posted on my fb for her. Oh and I took a picture of us and printed it out as a card for her as well. She gave me this really sweet card and when I read it, I cried. Of course. hahah Do you think you're gonna be sad when you leave your job or will you be shedding tears of joy? haha ;) I know you've bonded with some of your co-workers/bosses!

I don't know what you're talking about when you say you come off negative! To be honest I haven't really heard you obessessing over quiting as much as I thought you would hahah =) Its totally normal to freak out about it, it's all part of the excitment and mystery of what's going to happen next. Have you been looking for a new job? Have you thought about what you wanna do after your two carefree months of frolicking around the sunny parts of the globe? Or are you going to think about that during your vacation?
Yeah, you should focus on the positive things in your life! You have had a lot of accomplishments that should be celebrated. Cheers to you for graduating, getting a job, holding onto a job (that you hate...that's really hard), getting in touch with your oh so creative side, finding true love, and taking risks in order to change what you're unhappy about in life (a lot of people will rather stay unhappy, just for the security. I say fuck it, there's no better time than in our 20s to take the risks we want to take!)

So any news for the cruise?? Have you and Chris looked into it more since the last we talked? I'm excited about it, even though I don't know when we're gonna go, but I do know its gonna be fun and sunny with maximum usage of our bathing suits! Oh and the endless margaritassss!OW!

BTW for some reason, when I saw that car on the freeway with "Pussywagon" written on the back, I thought of us driving it. hahahah weird I know, but I can't picture myself in that car with anyone else but you. I found you miss new bootay! ;) Miss you lots...I'll try to call you tomorrow my fellow pussywagon rider.

Hola!

Hey Katherine! How's it goin?? I hope everything is going well for you in school. That you and Phil are happy and had a good celebration for his birthday (Happy Birthday Phil!). And that yo mama ain't given you as hard of  time as she has been. I thought I would at least just update this blog since my telephone skills are feeling a bit rusty. I'm still on the track to quitting in a few months and starting my ultimate jobless experience with you in socal! I've decided to really try and stop freaking out. And I am sorry for being really negative, if I do come off that way. I do realize that making comparisons to others is really just a waste of time. It's lame. So I'm going to start focusing on the positive stuff of life. Like having an awesome bubble sistah like you!

I had a weird ass dream with you in it! I was calling you on my cell phone, and you answered but there was really bad reception. I kept asking you to repeat what you said over and over, but ultimately it got awkward so we hung up. I think it's one of those I-feel-guilty/sad-for-not-keeping-in-touch-with-katherine dreams. :-/.

Hmmm....I think that is all I shall update you of, and will catch up with you via la telephone.

I miss you!

Happy Saint Patty's Day! Don't forget to wear green!

Hey Kitkat! Sorry that I haven't updated you sooner. Yea, there are moments, actually most of my waking hours, where I don't want to do anything but bum around and watch trashy TV with good food and some beer. I love that show Worst Cooks of America! I think it's actually a really smart concept, you wouldn't think it would be entertaining because these people aren't whipping up fancy stuff. But I actually learned how to cook a steak the proper way from one of the episodes- you got to use enough hot oil in the pan to get the nice grilled crust! Durr. I don't know why I never knew that before. OMGGG I hecka want to see Chopped All stars!!!! Aghhh!! Damn it, I don't have cable in my place in SF, so I have to wait for the weekend to watch real TV. In the meantime, I shall be stalking Michael Fassbender films on Netflix, you know that German guy in Inglorious Basterds, the really hot guy in the bar scene, the young Magento in the upcoming Xmen movie. *Dies*. I can't believe he's dating Zoe Kravitz. Stupid whore!

Hahaha, I bet Phils roommate got a bigger bed cuz he's finally gettin some from girlfriend! Or maybe they be getting freakier and need more space! Hahaha! I don't know what's freakier though, the thought of him gettin freaky or him sleeping on a bed has a history of being freaked on by other couples. EEEeeeesh. Not my cup of tea. But hey, when it comes down to it, I like me a good deal too.

 I think I'm starting to get the hang of wine. Actually, it all started with glass of sangria from this new Peruvian restaurant near my work. It was in one of those big goblet wine glasses and had a bunch of chopped up bits of oranges and apples and tasted like juice! But it all ended pretty bad on a sunday night after prepartying with sangria the night before hitting a club in SF. By the way, I never wanna go clubbing again! Well, not this weekend again at least. It was a whim of the moment kind of thing where Chris's cousin and some his friends wanted to go clubbing for so and so's friend of a friend's birthday or something like that. God, I totally forgot how trashy it can get- the loud music, the hoochies, the sweaty air, and my messed up shoes :(. Dancing with Chris was fun though, we both got AMFs as our choice of liquid courage, haha. Those drinks are like poison! Needless to say, I was pretty hungover the entire next day. But not as bad our night out in  SF, I think that did the most damage to my system thus far!

Got any plans for Saint Patty's day?! Me and a couple coworkers are gonna go karaoke in Japantown. Apparently one of their German people visiting from the German Lab has a deep passion for singing, especially a particular Cindy Lauper song. Btw, this person is around 37, single, and claims to be a heterosexual male. Hahah. Oh these Germans. I am kind of looking forward to it, but I kind of just want to hop on the next train to San Jose to hangout with Chris.

I can't believe it's already the middle of March. That means I am only months away from announcing that I want to quit my job. Almost every other day, I start to panic, and freak out about the future, what I should do, blah blah blah. And then the next day I'll convince myself that it's for the best, long enough to get through the day and not annoy Chris with my incessant worries. I'm sad because I will miss the people I worked with, I'm gonna miss my room in the city, I think I will miss taking public transportation, the dreary weather, my random trips to Powell st. for some shopatherapy, the random nights out, the routine of getting up and taking the train to work with all sorts of different people around. That's all going to end soon, and I'm going to be trading it in for slow-paced life, bumming around in Chris's apartment, with less contact to the outside world (at least until I find another job), and no real responsibilities. I know I should think this through longer.But  I do know I don't want to be locked in this job any longer. But will I find something better? I hope so, but that's not for sure. This sucks. Life. Blah.

But aside from all the mucky brain draining worrying, I am looking forward to hanging out with you this summer!! I need this break, to recharge, reevaluate my life- right? I'm just going to warn you that I may momentarily freak out now and then, but I need you to remind me what the bigger picture is. To convince me everything is going to be alright. To remind me that quitting is the right thing to do. I've been so preoccupied with these worries that I haven't really worked on the SnazzyFRESH blog in almost 2 months. I dabbled in Connie's post, but I feel so worn out by worry, that I think I've forgotten the excitement and thrill of creating a post and doing photoshoots.

My siblings are coming back from town this weekend for spring break, so I probably will go hangout with them for a bit. What do you have planned for your spring break?? Doing any traveling?? Let's start plannning out summer vacation festivities!!! K talk to you soon. Hope you have an awesome thursday!! Miss you!!!!

In the meantime, I shall leave you with pictures of my future ex-husband Michael Fassbender ;)

Spring break is almost upon us!

I forget if I've ever asked you, but do you get a full week off of work during spring break? I can't wait til break! Three more days of school left! (I only have 2 days of finals..yay!). How was your weekend? Mine was uneventful, I didn't end up going to my cousin's bday thing. I got too tired/lazy to drive down to LA, then I attempted to study, but ended up drinking wine and watching a marathon of the real housewives of OC on bravo. hahah such trash, but so addicting. Have you ever watched it? I got all into the Beverly Hills one, they're such fancy ladies with their big fancy houses. On Saturday I went down to Phil's parent's house, he had to do some computer stuff for his dad. On Sunday I attempted to study again, but ended up watching more tv but this time it was the food network. I used to watch Worst cooks of America on Sundays, but now that that's over they have Chopped all stars. It's so goooood! Oo I went to ikea on Monday! Man, I love that place, I can seriously stay there for hours even if I don't need anything in particular. Later that night me and Phil helped his roommate move a new bed/mattress back to their place. Remember the bed I had at my apartment? He got that one, but in a queen size from some Indian lady that lives 10 minutes away from their place. He also bought her mattress/mattress topper...I dunno, maybe its just me, but personally, I wouldn't buy a used mattress. That just doesn't seem sanitary. He did get a good deal though, 100 bucks for the whole sha-bang, so hey why not!  He got so excited for his new buy that he set up his bed, re-aranged his room, and went out to buy a new bed set that very same night. lol.
So what are you up to this weekend? Any photoshoots/blogging going on?? I wish we could do a photoshoot together, that'll be so much fun. Maybe we can when you take your two month vacation =) We'll have a fashion/artsy fartsy photoshoot! Ah I want a vacation! I've been so broke lately, I can't stop looking at online stuff to buy. It's like I know I can't buy anything, but I still torture myself by looking at all 2000 new items of the Forever21 stock. Damnit.

I really want a crochet top..lol. Like this one...

I also want these heels...

Oh and a striped blazer...

There's more (don't get me started on the accessories...), but I'll refrain for now...k talk to you soon!
