Forgotten Fun

Wednesday night I rediscovered a forgotten fun, hitting up bars and dancing! I've been single for roughly 6 months.

I was very scared and almost turned off by the thought of clubbing and bar hopping. I didn't want to party it up with little 21 year olds, young bucks. Plus I wanted to be in super good shape before I hit the night life again. I gained happy fat from my last relantionship.

Well I was definitely ready for night life fun Wednesday evening at Red's birthday outing. I've been working out regularly, so I was feeling pretty confident. I was rocking a cute boobalicious dress, Chanel glasses and all. I had so much fun dancing with my friends at 923. It's something I use to love to do. Something I now want to do more often. Especially on Wednesday nights at 923. It's free cover, good dj and chill! A perfect place for me to chill with my friends.

I also like rolling up with a bunch of guys. I'm that chick that hangs out with a lot of guys and I don't mind it too much. As long as I'm not the only girl in the group. No one dares to mess with a girl that's chilling with a ton of guys. Could it be in the realm of cockblocking? Perhaps, but I love my guys. They are a ton of fun. Plus I rarely pay for my drinks when I'm with them. Haha.

Lesson of the day: dancing is so much fun! I must rediscover forgotten fun more often!

Feeling the Love

Many of you know the current state of my vision. I have a long recovery period ahead. As severe as things are, I have been able to take a lot of positive things from this.

I have a well deserve break from work. I get to lower my stress levels. I'm going to take this time to get my mind, body and soul in order and find peace.

Another great thing take came from my medical leave is seeing all the love I get from my friends. My roomies, Tam and Red are amazing as usual. Reminding me every hour to take my antibiotics, taking me to check ups, and letting me take it easy. Good neighbor Lisa is more intent to feeding me home cooked meals. Ace ace calmed my nerves about my treatment. Giving me all the medical break down. He's also a great date! Guiding me at the bars and shining a light for me to see at the party so I won't trip. I love my bestie. He's so awesome that Red and Rich wanted to steal him away from me. I did lose him to a bet once. Haha.

My wonderful kiddies from work just make me warm and fuzzy inside. When Genny heard the news that I was out for awhile, she offered to take me grocery shopping and help me cook. What a sweetheart! Moses (my favorite newbie) at the going away party was determined to guide me around in the dark outside. Especially up the unlit stairs to the pool and awesome view. He was also determined that I didn't fall into the pool. Haha. My kids sent sweet get well wishes and said many kind words. I love my people!

Lesson of the day: peoples' kindness is the best medicine!

Meant to be?

All of those near and dear to me are aware of all the work difficulties I have been suffering lately. My stress levels are so high that I have decided to walk away from the good paying job in order to be happy again. I am so relieved that I finally figured what's best for me.

I started to pursue other opportunities that have presented themselves to me. When one door closes, several doors open. Several several doors open!

I also wanted to exit my current hellhole as soon as possible. I was given the advice to exit via medical leave. Stress related medical leave to be specific. Sounds like a legit idea. Unfortunately, my body has been slowly shutting down due to all the stress I'm undergoing. Breaking out is no fun, getting a nasty cold during the summertime is so random and my eyes are busted again.

My eyes are especially alarming that I went to the optometry today. I was under the impression that i had dry itchy eyes and maybe an eye infection. My vision started to blur last night, but I figured my contacts were shifting because they were dry. Well Dr. Lum gave me bad news. I have bad corneal abrasions in both eyes, the right eye is especially worse off. My vision is so blurred that I can hardly see with my glasses and contacts on. I have to press things up to my nose in order to see or read. In order to treat my eyes I have to get my eyes healthy enough to start steroid treatment. Healing and treating my eyes will take up to 4 weeks or 3 months worse case scenario.

Every night I pray to my dad to watch out for our family and our well being. For months I've been asking for him help with this stress. Perhaps going on this medical was meant to be. Its my dad's way of looking out for me. He knows I'm desperate to exit ps and get my stress levels down. And I need to be happy-go-lucky again. I'm taking this time to collect myself and find peace again.

Lesson of the day: everything happens for a reason. Bad news can often be your way out of a bad situation. It's all meant to be.

Happy Monday

I had a Happy Monday! Usually, Mondays are rarely ever fun or nice. However, today was an exception. Work was fairly stress free (I'm bracing myself for Terrible Tuesday). I had 3 friends come visit me. A big thanks to Adam, Daniel and Philly for stopping by and saying hi.

The cherry on top of my day was when I got home. Sitting on the dining room table was a cute Hello Kitty lunch bag from Red! How cute is this?!

I adore this lunch bag, or anything Hello Kitty. I put the bag on the top of the sectional and I squeal like a teeny bopper. The dusty pink vest I was eyeing at Urban Outfitters yesterday was casually laid there. Awesome Lisa and Tam got me it.



I'm known to have an aversion to the color pink. I hardly ever wear or buy anything pink. But I love love love love this pink vest. I love it even more since I didn't have to shell out any mulah for it!

Lesson of the day: suprises rock, especially gifts!

Milkshake Mission

Some of my friends are on a "greatest milkshake ever in San Diego" mission. I've been to 2 places so far. First stop was Froster Freezes in La Mesa. Ewwww ewww. Ghetto ass place with sucky milkshakes. The valley girl in me wanted to put a napkin down before sitting down at that dump. Never again shall I step a foot inside that place.

Second stop was at the ever so delightful Ghiradelli! Success! Super yummy vanilla milkshakes for $7.10. Made from real ice cream and lots of whip cream on top! I'm in dairy heaven!

I'm coming here for seconds. It's so filling and endless that next time I'm getting a small or better yet, share it with someone. Cant be a fat kid on my day off all the time. It was a waste because i couldn't finish half of it. Next place to try is a mom and pop place in old Poway that Ace confirmed was worth the trip to checkout.
