15 word summary of this semester
"Procrastination is like masturbation. You enjoy it at first, until you realize, you're fucking yourself."
Working at Target
So it's been 4 months since I started working as a Cashier at Target and I have to say, it's been super great! I got with the flow really fast and real easily and now I'm opening more redcards (Target credit cards) than most of my co-workers. It's really hard to get guests to open credit cards but with proper use of smile and deceiving with charm, it can be done :)
The Abominable Charles Christopher: March 21st
iFail
So for our assignment in class, my professor wanted us to try something new that is completely out of our normal routine, and miserably fail at it. Now for my experiment, I did not completely go out of the norm but I still did something I knew I was going to fail at. I have always been a technology guy and always experimented with new electronic devices. Last month, I bought my sister a brand new Kindle Fire. I saw the serial number or key of the package and remembered how everyone scammed Amazon by reporting a damage to their Kindle Fires and got new replacements no questions asked. I did it once with my friend and I thought I should do it again. I lost the manual that was downloaded online that showed step by step instructions on getting a free Kindle. The manual also contained the complaint letter that was to be sent. So I tried to do it myself and wrote a new complaint by myself. The person caught on to me and asked more information than the first time I complained to them. He asked for my debit card information and my address and where and when I bought the Kindle. He told me that if this is a scam, he can track my IP and get me arrested. I was so scared that I unplugged my whole desktop and the internet router of my house. I realized I tried to do something by myself and failed miserably.
Nike Free Run
So I bought these new running shoes called Nike Free Run and they are FRIGGIN' AMAZING! Greatest shoes I have ever owned. So light and comfortable, I basically wear them everywhere. I am planning to doate all of my shoes to Goodwill because I feel that I no longer need any other shoes but my Nike Free Runs. You guys should get 'em!
The Abominable Charles Christopher: March 14th
In this week's edition of Abominable, we see two rats making fun of a woodchuck. At first, the woodchuck doesn't realize what's going on but catches on in the end. This reminds me of when I was new to America. I was the "Asian Kid" or the "Chino" in my class. I was the nicest foreign guy you could ever meet. All I wanted to do was be friends with everyone. But there were always those guys who thought they were so cool because they were in their own group walking around school in a pack. One day, I passed by them near the basketball courts and they asked me "Where I was from". I thought they were referring to my homeland, instead they were looking for a "gang related" answer. Being ignorant of the situation, I calmly answered Philippines. Here I was thinking I made new friends. Instead they started laughing at me and called me a "[EXPLETIVE] Rice Eater". I left after that altercation and tried to avoid them that whole year. I never talked to any of them ever since that day until 4 years later when I was in High School and I started being physically active. I was not intimidated by them any longer because I was the same size, if not, much bigger and stronger. But it was too late, they didn't try to get in an altercation with me and I did not want to initiate a stupid fight over a stupid incident they started 4 years ago when they were immature.
I'm BACK!
Well, it's been a month since I've posted a blog. I have been procrastinating, well I always have been, but more hardcore than ever the past month! Time to finish all my work and finish this semester strong! Let's do this!
