A little Early Planning.

So in less then a month Valentines Day is coming up.
I've got something mustered up but it will for sure drain my already broke ass.
Lets just say it cost me 75 bucks to put a deposit on a reservation for dinner.
I mean 75 dollar deposit? Really??
Oh well, it looks like a nice restaurant.
They have a set seven course menu especially for Valentines Day. But it's also 70 bucks a person plus what ever wine your going to drink.I hope to God she doesn't have expensive taste when it comes to wine. Maybe I'll smuggle in some moon shine.
haha.

Also its kind of hard to think of something when you don't know if her ex did everything ten times better.
I guess its gotta come from the heart..
eeewe.

Time for me? No? Okay...

Fuck, 2009 so far is very wishy washy.
South Surrey store is no longer opening due to the fact Cara thinks it will lose more money then it will make in the first six months.
^Dumb

Anyhow, it seems like I have very little time for myself now a days. No days where I can just sit at home and vibe, or go shopping and site seeing.Granted I have two days off per week, I spend most of the time taking care of errands or cleaning. I've had one day where I can just vibe on the sky-train and just shop, but even then it felt rushed. blaaaaah....
"Oh life...where did you go?"

What ever happened in 2008?

So here's a quick little recap of my 2008:

January: Ended my contract w/ Service Alberta, under the AR department. After Service Alberta i started my contract with Capital Health, which was not very fun. I ended up getting let go from Capital Health and being rehired by Service Alberta. At Service Alberta I over took a very challenging role in which I was not able to apply to myself, therefore I left that contract.

February: So I'm unemployed at this point and was grinding out @ the Casino. I know that the casino was a bad thing so with help from my friends I soon left that behind. I Finally got a call from agency for another contract, this job was particularly more exciting because I was going to be employed by Encana (I think). It was a short term contract which only lasted two weeks. So I saved my pay from there and stretched it out. My mom was in the Philippines for the first week of the month, so I was practically broke and left to fend for my own. I managed to cook enough food to last one week. The food consisted of a shrimp soup and rice. I had saved the broth from the soup and rationed out enough rice to last me the week. That was freaking low point. I don't have anyone to blame but myself. My mom came back so I was able to breathe again. I started to go clubbing with my boys, and it was a hell of a good time! So begins the Bar Star chapter.

March: In about the middle of the month I had been talking to my brother who lives in BC. He asked me if I wanted to spend two months in Vancouver just to save money, kind of like a mini vacation. I agreed because I thought it would be a good change.

April:So I have one month left in Edmonton before I made my way down to Vancouver. Me and my friends went Clubbing practically every weekend, no matter what. We would make weekly trips to Calgary for my boy Tuan cause he had to practice with O'Mighty reppin Calgary in Bboy Unit Canada. So we would go Clubbing Friday and wake up Saturday morning and make the three hour drive. It was awesome, made me feel like I was living my age instead of trying to be some mature guy. April was the shit and I'll never forget it. I realized who my tight friends were and we made lots of memories just kicking it and doing random shit. Close the Bar star chapter and start a new in Vancouver.

June: So my brother and his girlfriend made the long trek to Edmonton from Vancouver to come and pick me up. We made our way on June 1st to Vancouver. A very early start and got into Vancouver just in time. His place was chill, nice tenants but they are shady. We lived in a decent part of Surrey(which is practically part of Vancouver). I tried to find jobs and applied to miscellaneous places but I found no luck. I spent most of my days taking the sky-train into downtown Vancouver and doing some sight-seeing/shopping.

July: My mom came down for a long weekend visit and it was fun! We went across the border(which three hours just to get into Washington) and did some shopping. I accompanied my mom back to Edmonton. It took us a full 24hours just to drive back because there was some stupid mudslide or whatever in Jasper. I kicked it with my homies and we did the usual weekend stuff.Go to practice, go to bar, eat some pho, and enjoyed some nice bubble tea.I also visited my family which I had missed alot. I flew back to Vancouver because I had a job lined up with Montana's. My brother is a Kitchen Manager there and very well respected for his work. I got the Job and so began training and the shenanigans.

August: Brand new restaurant and practically a brand new life. I had an idea that I wouldn't be moving back to Edmonton any time soon so I kind of embraced my surroundings so I can get more comfortable. The restaurant started a little slow but business picked up. I made some new friends and what not started to feel like Vancouver was a home.

September: At the end of the month we had moved to a new basement suite so that it wouldn't be such a far trek to work. Haha, so I had been jumping back and forth between some girls at work(no I wasn't being a man slut) and some of them had a "but" factor.All except for one girl. she was cool shit. Unfortunately she had a boyfriend so I was absolutely sure I had no chance there. >_<
Around the end of September I mustered the balls and just asked her to hang out, ya know? If I don't have a chance with her, why not make a friend out of the situation. So begins a cloud of mess.

October: So apparently that girl I was hanging out with got dumped by her long term boyfriend. On one side of the spectrum I felt bad for her, because you know... I care, and on the other side I saw it as a window of opportunity. The more and more I hung out with her the more and more I was digging her personality. At this point the news about the new South Surrey store opening caused a little stir within the management team. So ends October.

November: Pretty much the same as October. I was hanging out with the girl from work. I made my way back to Edmonton for a week for my Grandfathers birthday, and because I was missing Edmonton too much( not so much the city, but the people). I came back to Edmonton feeling refreshed and ready to work. I was serving and also working in the kitchen so I can have more experience all around. The girl I was hanging with made everything fun but at the same time stressful. If you read any of my other posts refer to "New Age Standards" and you'll know why I was a little stressed. She wasn't sleeping around, but the fact that we weren't "Official" made it kind of paranoial.

December: Almost the end of the year, and also a very busy time. I found out who was going to the new store, and I had requested with the aid of my brother to also be transferred there to work in the kitchen permanently. I felt this was a good move. So...........the girl. As you can see she kind of preoccupies my mind. At this point I was getting EXTREMELY frustrated and was jumping back and forth. (refer to "Silver Platter?"). But as it came to the middle of the month, it seemed that we showed alot more interest in each other and it showed that maybe we'll be going somewhere.Christmas and my birthday was fun stuff. Got a Camera,electric shaver, golfballs, and a hat for Xmas/my birthday (still waiting for my bed though =P). My brother got a TV for his birthday which me and his girlfriend halfed. New years was awesome, the girl I was seeing just came back from Calgary and she came over to say "Hi" and stayed for the whole countdown.
After the countdown began 2009. A new year, and new goals.

Happy New years to my Boys in Edmonton and to my family as well. Hope 2009 will be a strong year for everyone.
